Anyone who has read many of my blog entries or articles will know that I'm a great fan of code quality metrics. By code quality metrics, I am referring to coding standards, best practices, complexity, but also to other associated statistics such as the number of unit tests run and the level of code coverage. Code Quality management is an important part of any project, but sometimes it can be difficult to get a global picture.
