[comp.realtime] paisley, reltools, ncsl???

warner@arrayb.uucp (Dave Warner) (01/20/91)

I've retrieved the descriptions of these tools from the AT&T Toolchest
and am wondering if anyone has any experience using them???  ncsl
is pretty straightforward - it counts non-commented source lines and
generates some statistics. reltools claims to be a software reliability
analyzer and, since I haven't read the referenced book, I don't have 
much to go on.  paisley claims to be an executable specification
language intended for real time and distributed systems.  I would be
grateful for any actual experience using any of these tools, especially
paisley and reltools.

Thanks in advance, Dave

I second Dave's request.  Also, how does one go about *getting*
the AT&T Toolchest?

Does anyone have any experience with software quality analyzers
for object-oriented systems?  For perl?  I am referring to source
code analyzers that measure complexity, reliability, etc.  Somehow,
I don't think PC-Metric fits the object-oriented paradigm, and
I don't think they have a perl version ...
