gCodex: A tool to analyze software repositories over time (Visualization)

gCodex is a novel tool for analyzing and visualizing the code base in a manner that it allows its users to get an idea of the insights of the codebase. This tool was built to analyze code bases and it supports any language. In addition, it provides a visualization of the file structure, rate of change of complexity and defects rate. In order to improve the quality of the software and the controllability of the project, it is necessary to control the complexity of the software by measuring the associated aspects and visualize those in a descriptive and attractive dashboard. Using the existing tools, it is not possible to visualize the rate of change of code complexity with the time. This tool uses Cyclomatic complexity, line of code and Halstead complexity metric and their impact on the software quality, and visualize those in a descriptive dashboard which provides analytics that describes and summarize past trends.
