Calculating Fan in / Fan out of a metrics project
Hey I am in the process of a coding a OOD metrics project. I am 90 percent done I just need a few more metric measurements to add to it, and two of the hard ones are fan in and fan out.
The project consists of a GUI which allows opening of multiple files at a time, so it gets all of the java files in a project then sends each file to the parser. The class parser gets the class information and stores the class name, methods[], attributes[], etc. The method parser parses out the method header into returntype, visibility, name, static?, final?, etc and also saves the code inside of the method block to calculate mccabes number. Then the attribute parser just parses an attribute line into the datatype, visibility, and name. I am just stumped as how to calculate the Fan in/ out of a member function...has anyone out there done something similar? If you need to see some of my code just post that you want me to paste some of it.
