ABSTRACT:
A method and system for automatically checking the quality of computer source code based on rules for identifying quality concerns. The computer source code comprises instructions for execution on the computer. Each of the instructions are represented by at least one node stored in a parse tree. Both the parse tree and the rules are stored in the computer. A violation of one of the rules is checked by examining each of the instructions as represented by nodes in the parse tree. An error message for describing the quality concern identified is generated whenever such a rule violation is found in the computer source code.
