SourceKibitzer reports that today the site contains an analysis of more than 500 Open Source projects written in the Java language, and the site team is not going to stop there.
According to SourceKibitzer executives, more than 50,000 Java open source Java projects have been published on the Internet, about 5,000 of which are active. Collecting all available projects together is a priority task for SK developers, which for the half year of the site’s existence has already been implemented by one tenth. Among the 500 published and analyzed projects you can find: Apache, Codehaus, JBoss and ObjectWeb. In total, the SourceKibitzer base includes 3 million measurements and this number is increasing every week by another 100,000 units. Moreover, the total size of the analyzed code is more than 24 million lines.
Created half a year ago on the Baltic Sea coast, SourceKibitzer collects and evaluates OS program metrics of projects hosted on the global network in order to obtain results on code quality, member activity, project development and size. The programmers of the site have been working with the Java language for many years and therefore are well aware of its capabilities. Limiting Java to projects only allows you to make a more detailed analysis, characteristic of this language, and also to support the largest database of Java metrics.
With the increase in the database, SourceKibitzer is going to expand the set of services related to metrics and OS movement in parallel. “We are ready to help students and researchers by providing them with necessary data about projects of interest for work,” says Mark Kofman, Executive Director of SourceKibitzer, “We are also ready to share advice with OS users regarding the quality of work of specialists. The most important thing is that we do it absolutely free. ”
