Question

FlexMetrics NCSS Metric

Thanks for introducing the FlexMetrics tool, this is very cool! How is the NCSS metric calculated? It seems to be vastly under-counting our number of lines, but maybe I'm just not understanding the metric.

Thanks,

Brian

Hi Brian,

It is calculating the number of Non Comment Source Statements, not the Lines Of Code:

1 private function foo() : void
2 {
3     var i : int = 10; // NCSS
4
5     while( i > 0 ) // NCSS
6     {
7          i++; // NCSS
8     }
9}

The NCSS value will be 3, where as the LOC will be 6.

That's the theory. In practice there may be a bug in the computation, but that's the way it works currently.

HTH

Xavier
