Crap4j is a Java implementation of the CRAP (Change Risk Analysis and Predictions) software metric – a mildly offensive metric name to help protect you from truly offensive code.
The CRAP metric combines cyclomatic complexity and code coverage from automated tests (e.g. JUnit tests) to help you identify code that might be particularly difficult to understand, test, or maintain – the kind of code that makes developers say: “This is crap!” or, if they are stuck maintaining it, “Oh, crap!”.
The best way to learn more about CRAP and Crap4j is to check the various articles, newsgroups and blogs about them.
Jumble is a class level mutation testing tool that works in conjunction with JUnit. The purpose of mutation testing is to provide a measure of the effectiveness of test cases. A single mutation is performed on the code to be tested, the corresponding test cases are then executed. If the modified code fails the tests, then this increases confidence in the tests. Conversely, if the modified code passes the tests this indicates a testing deficiency.
Phantastic!
"EclEmma is a free Java code coverage tool for Eclipse, available under the Eclipse Public License. Internally it is based on the great EMMA Java code coverage tool, trying to adopt EMMA's philosophy for the Eclipse workbench:
* Fast develop/test cycle: Launches from within the workbench like JUnit test runs can directly be analyzed for code coverage.
* Rich coverage analysis: Coverage results are immediately summarized and highlighted in the Java source code editors.
* Non-invasive: EclEmma does not require modifying your projects or performing any other setup.
The Eclipse integration has its focus on supporting the individual developer in an highly interactive way.
The update site for EclEmma is http://update.eclemma.org/."
