Looking for tools to analyze code complexity and unit testing for Linux

like2learn · 09-11-2010, 06:18 PM

I am looking for tools to analyze code complexity and/or unit testing for embedded Linux system development (both device driver and user space apps) with ARM-based processor. We use Eclipse IDE and C++ lanuage for development.

Does anybody have recommendation for tools to analyze code complexity? The tools is better to support McCabe complexity metric, however, we may also consider others.

Does anybody have recommendation for unit testing?

Thank you very much for sharing!

It will be better if the tools supports both Linux and Windows.

What is the definition of "code complexity" ?

One of the best tools I'm aware of is "Understand for C/C++". But, AFAIK, the current version is available for Windows only:

Another (open source!) alternative you might be interested in is the "Metrics" Eclipse plug in:
