The accelerator factor used to calculate the Coding Rules Compliance measure should be changeable by Sonar administrator

Details

  • Type: Improvement Improvement
  • Status: Closed Closed

Description

To calculate the RCI index, we currently use the following formula :

rules_compliance_index = 1 - (total_violation_nbre * 3) / LOC

3 is what we call the accelerator factor. Sonar administrator should be able to change the default value of this accelerator factor.

Could it be possible to change the accelerator factor for each category ?
That would enable us to put more pressure on some categories.

Hi Philippe, this is not currently possible but that's a good question. What we plan to do is to extend the number of failure levels and to associate a weight to each level (and not to each category). So for each rule, you will be able to associate a level and so a weight.

Adding an accelerator factor to each rule is a good idea but maybe too time consuming. I does give more control over the results.
I was thinking of putting weight on categories because this can be a business choice at one point forcing you to manage things differently.
For example : a project is late and is subcontracted. You want to emphasis on maintainability for a while even if it weren't a priority before.
Those categories can be used like that.
