Scade interpreter for measuring static and dynamic software metrics

In this paper we present an interpreter framework designed for measuring static and dynamic characteristics of a Scade model[1]. While some of the software metrics have become industrial standards in software development and for popular languages there is a variety of software measurement tools, for Scade there are no such tools. Our main achievement is that we developed an interpreter for metrics, and we provide easy access for all the information gained from these measurements. We also implemented some of the canonical software metrics like Cyclomatic complexity and Halstead´s Software Science.
