USC Affiliates Code Counter Suite Mathy Pandian - The Aerospace Corporation Lori Vaughan - Northrop Grumman
Agenda • Why Code Counters? • Industry Collaboration Roles • Code Counter Genesis • Acceptance Process • Status • Diff Tool
There are many cost related thoughts to manage in our Cost Brains… • Organizations • Academics • Models • exist to assist us with this complex construct. No Duplication Rights
Are we Logical or Physical? • Two major types of SLOC (Source Line of Code) • Physical SLOC • Not Language specific • A count of line feeds or carriage returns (not blank or comment) • A count of "blank lines, comment lines" in the text of the program's source code • Logical SLOC • Language specific • Measures the number of "statements“ dependent on language syntax • A count of "blank lines, comment lines" in the text of the program's source code • Easier to create tools that measure physical SLOC • Logical SLOC measures are not sensitive to irrelevant formatting and style conventions • Physical SLOC is sensitive to formatting and style conventions • Logical SLOC can often be significantly different from physical SLOC
Why Industry Requires a Set of Logical Code Counters • Base Measure for key Software Intensive program metrics • Trends, Status • Example: • Software productivity • Software defect density Provide Insight into: • Estimate at Complete • Are we ready for System Integration and Test? • Software Historical Data • Normalized, consistent and representative quantification of systems across industry • Industry-wide normalized counts • Benefit to customer, contractors and teammates for estimation and acquisition insight • Size Input for parametric models • Basis of COCOMO Tool Suite
Roles • University of Southern California • Dr. Barry Boehm: USC CSE Director • Winsor Brown – Mentor and Code Count Advisor • Vu Nguyen: Code Count Team Lead & Configuration Manager • Harley Green: USC Code Count Support • The Aerospace Corporation • Marilee Wheaton: Industry Facilitator • Mathy Pandian: IV&V and Software Engineer • Northrop Grumman Mission Systems • Lori Vaughan: Code Count Product Line usage expert
Genesis • Limited public license – Copy Left agreement • George Kalb - Northrop Grumman Electronic Systems: 1994 original author • USC has been supporting code counters since 1998 • NRO Cost Group (NCG) and Northrop Grumman Mission Systems donated additional Code Counter tools • USC provided students and requested Aerospace to do the IV&V • Aerospace approached Northrop Grumman Corporation for project collaboration
Goals • To incorporate NCG developed ‘Diff Tool’ into the code counter suite • To incorporate newly implemented code counters into USC code counter suite • NCG: MUL, Perl, SQL • Northrop Grumman: VBScript, Visual Basic, Excel, Various Assembler counters (Arm, dsp21020, ppc604, pss, ut69r000) • USC: • Software Engineering Class: XML • Directed Research Class: SQL, JavaScript
Acceptance Process • Conduct/participate in many stake holders’ meetings • Using ‘Directed Research’ and ‘Software Engineering’ students • Hold Change Control Board • Define set of IV& V criteria and process • Develop scheduling, lesson plans and assignments • Participate in many students’ reviews and meetings • Perform Testing • Document requirements, definitions, test cases, known issues, etc. • Publish the validated product to the USC CSE Code Counter website • Affiliate website • Public website
Process Status • Process in place for USC to perform IV&V using students • Process in place to document all anomalies and issues identified • Defined requirements • Set of test cases were developed • Requirements Specification, Detail Design, User Manual • A link is provided for the users to communicate with USC Code Count team • Allocated and assigned a Code Count Team Lead and Configuration Manager

Diff Tool • Quantification of Reuse code has led NCG to develop Diff concept and tool • USC has agreed to adopt NCG diff tool • Performing USC Code Count Acceptance Process • Captures: New, Deleted, Modified, Swapped lines of code • Both Physical and Logical lines of code • Interfaces with USC Code Counter • More details in NCG presentation • Diff Tool Status • USC Directed Research IV&V in progress
Conclusion • USC Code Count Product Line being maintained and enhanced with industry collaborative efforts • Questions CodeCount ™ (CoCo) Suite is at the center of all COCOMO products
