Project Overview

Code turmoil is a measure of how much code has changed. It is measured by counting the number of lines that have been removed and added. Before measuring code turmoil, comments are stripped out so only code is measured. HP had a tool that performed the turmoil measurements. However, in updating the system they switched to Windows and a different version control system.

In the fall semester of 2007 Team 49 of the CS481 course were asked to write a new turmoil measurement tool. Due to time restrictions some features were not fully implemented. Further, it was found that the new turmoil measurement tool runs much slower than the old one.

For the spring semester of 2008, Team 53 of the CS481 course will be working on improving the turmoil tool created by Team 49. A listing of objectives follows:
