Code Metrics and Analysis

1 post · Feb 2023

What this trail covers

GitLab is enhancing its code management intelligence by developing tools for code counting and analysis. This includes a reusable CI/CD library extension that leverages the SCC tool for fast code counting across repositories and groups. Additionally, an innovation in MR complexity metrics extension is being explored to estimate change and risk in merge requests, aiding in pre-triaging and SLA adherence for deployments. The development of these tools is influenced by GitLab's remote-first culture and collaborative coffee chats.

  1. Lightning fast code counting for better code management intelligenceThis post introduces a new reusable GitLab CI shared library extension for code counting using the SCC tool. It details the design attributes of this solution, including its speed, use of Git clone optimizations, configuration options for file extensions, support for group hierarchies, and artifact generation. It also describes an innovation in an MR complexity metrics extension that uses code counting to estimate change in MRs for better pre-triaging.
