Re: [triquetrum-dev] Coverity Scan of Triquetrum

Interesting.  I have no experience with it.

One of the things I like about OpenHub is that it is fairly easy to compare projects.

For example, comparing Hudson and Jenkins is useful to see which community is more active: https://www.openhub.net/p/_compare?project_0=Hudson&project_1=Jenkins

I like static analysis, but a downside is that there are a bunch of false positive that need to be addressed. The upside is that static analysis can catch corner cases in multithreaded code that are difficult to otherwise identify.

Software metrics can be a huge time sink, but I find that they can help me focus on which files need work. I found the combination of code coverage and cyclometric complexity to be a good way to decide which files needed more testing.

I modified the Coverity settings so that it now reports FindBugs issues. There are now 19 issues reported by Coverity, 16 of which are from FindBugs.

I think to view the Coverity defects you need to request access. (Erwin, I invited you via your gmail account). I

Oddly, Hudson (https://hudson.eclipse.org/triquetrum/job/triquetrum/findbugs) reports 70 FindBugs issues, so I guess Coverity is only reporting issues for the code that is compiled with "mvn verify".

Through an announced presentation for EclipseCon France, I found : http://eclipse.castalia.camp/about.html Alambic seems to be an open-source service that is also about project quality & metrics etc. http://castalia.camp/alambic/

If I read it correctly, they originated from the PolarSys Eclipse community?

Anyone has any experience with them, I see that also EASE is on Alambic?

In the interests of procrastination, I ran Coverity Scan on Triquetrum.

There are only three warnings, which is pretty good
