  • Automatically extracting coupling metrics from compiled code
    Patent number: 7725881
    Abstract: Code coupling metrics are extracted from compiled code rather than from source code or software specifications. Examples of compiled code include binary machine code and machine-independent intermediate code that is convertible into binary machine code by a just-in-time compiler. The compiled code may be compiled from source code written in an object-oriented programming language, or from source code written in a procedural programming language, or from any combination thereof. A coupling metrics system includes a reader to access compiled code and its symbol table information, and a coupling metrics extraction component to calculate coupling metrics from the compiled code and its symbol table information. The coupling metrics system may be part of an integrated development environment (IDE) system.
