A heuristic tool for measuring software quality using program language standards

الملخص EN

Quality is a critical aspect of any software system.

Indeed, it is a key factor for the competitiveness, longevity, and effectiveness of software products.

Code review facilitates the discovery of programming errors and defects, and using programming language standards is such a technique.

In this study, we developed a code review technique for achieving maximum software quality by using programming language standards.

A Java Code Quality Reviewer tool (JCQR) was proposed as a practical technique.

It is an automated Java code reviewer that uses SUN and other customized Java standards.

The JCQR tool produces new quality-measurement information that indicates applied, satisfied, and violated rules in a piece of code.

It also suggests whether code quality should be improved.

Accordingly, it can aid junior developers and students in establishing a successful programming attitude.

JCQR uses customized SUN-based Java programming language standards.

Therefore, it fails to cover certain features of Java.
