Open Source Source Code Analysis Tools

.Net Checker checks all code dependencies in .Net projects to ensure a stable architecture - up to multi-million LOC source trees. Moreover, it can produce flexible DOT-based dependency graphs.

Flowcharts not telling you what you want to know about some C source code? Try a State Dependency map! Every C source file is an implemention of a state machine. Implicit in the definition of a state machine is a network of dependencies between the states. The Automalator * deconstructs the C code into the core state machine * collates the transactions into the dependency net * generates a diagram-format file with the states and dependencies as the nodes and edges. Pre-requisites * Perl - tested with versions 5.12.3, 5.14.2 and 5.20.2, Windows, Linux and MAC * Get the Automalator by downloading the zip, or checking out or exporting the SVN trunk * copy the source code of interest into "project.c" * windows - double-click "src2map.bat" * linux & MAC - navigate the command line to the "project" folder, then run "src2map.sh" * open "project.gml" file with diagramming software.

CODERU is a java code quality tool to enforce good structure in respect to packages and therefore modules dependencies. CODERU is an achronym and stands for Common Dependency Rules. The CODERU-rules rely on reserved package names and the allowed dependency rules between them expressed in a general way. Unlike other tools forcing you to define allowed or disallowed individual package dependencies CODERU is based on a fixed set of general rules. The dependencies between packages need not be defined explicitly. These general dependency rules are based on common design practices what is reflected in preserved package names: "api", "common", "impl" and "factory". As an integral part of CODERU there is a tool checking your code for rules conformance. See coderu rule description on http://coderu.org .

CSS Scanner scans your projects (HTML, ASPX, PHP, JavaScript, jQuery) use of css classes and selectors and compares it to your CSS/stylesheet files. It then lists you those CSS selectors and classes that are not used or not defined and those which are used. This way it helps you get an overview of your CSS/stylesheet definitions and lets you easily clean them up. There's a precompiled .msi installer for Windows avaliable for download. Just install and find CSS Scanner in your start menu folder "CSS Scanner". Click on the info icons of the GUI if you need help.

JITTAC is an Architecture Consistency plug-in for Eclipse that helps maintain consistency between the architectural design and the implementation. It detects the potential problem areas by a method based on Reflexion Model (jrmtool) and prompts the developer accordingly. For a fuller description, please see the website.

This tool helps you to reverse engineer UML Sequence Diagram for your java program at runtime. It works well with both complex java programs (that have multiple threads) and J2EE applications deployed on Application Servers.

The Object Conversion Library aims to provide developers with a baseline template for object conversion. The library can included to a project to allow a developer to build specific object conversion features. A more detailed explanation can be found in the documentation section of the repository.

PatternDetect is an Eclipse plugin that extracts the design patterns used in an Eclipse Java project. PatternDetect can be extended with new design patterns.

SIM stands for Struts In Mind, the goal is to transform a struts-config.xml file into a Freemind map, thus allowing a better vizualisation of the application mapping. Configuration is analyzed to provide a vision enhanced with colors and icons.

An Eclipse plug-in to monitor and act against the deterioration of software modularity in Java source code. On going development, with a prototype available.

A small tool to remove C / C++ style comments from your source code. Including source.

"Component-Watch" is a tool discovering, showing and assessing the structure of (big) java programs from their classes. It finds what are the components composing a program, analyse what are the relations between those components and compare those the the permitted relations between components. The tool helps to easily define and display UML-like diagrams showing components and their relationship.
