ABSTRACT:
A software engineering tool is disclosed which enables the efficiency and performance of a program design to be evaluated prior to the time the program is written into code. Every possible path that can be followed in the implementation of the program is identified, and its length is measured. From this information, reports are generated which point out the longest paths in the program and sources of potential performance problems. In addition, weights which identify relative complexities or performance timings can be assigned to individual modules in the program, and form the basis of other reports which indicate timing performance. The user is provided with the opportunity to alter the weights assigned to modules, and thereby determine the effect which different weights have on the overall performance of the program.
