Abstract
Complex software systems embody a wide spectrum of properties that can affect life-cycle management. Through a unique tool set, we are able to quantify large-system features that directly impact software architecture, porting, reliability, and maintenance. The primary goal is early identification of risks to deployment and post-deployment support. The tools include Ada 83 and C System Dependency Analyzers, an Ada 83 Common Code Recognizer; an Ada 83 Tasking Identifier and a Rate Monotonic Analysis Scheduler. Millions of lines of code have been successfully assessed in practice.
