Does CodePro Analytix provide 'Class Cycle' checker option?

[souravbasu]

All,

I recently started using CodePro Analytix. I feel that it is a great tool, however, an important code quality parameter namely
'Class Cycle' doesn't seem to be covered. Any pointers on how to customize CodePro to implement this rule would be appreciated...

Thanks in advance.

Thanks! That's good to hear.

If you can describe what you want the rule to find, I can tell you whether we already have such a rule (some of the rules are not as easy to find as we'd like).

Any pointers on how to customize CodePro to implement this rule would be appreciated...

If you want to add a new audit rule, our documentation contains instructions. Just look here: http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/tools/codepro/doc/features/audit/audit_adding_new_rules.html.

Thanks for responding Bryan.

'Class Cycle' rule should identify cyclic relationships between at a class level. I've already analyzed the 'Dependency Analyzer' but observed that it analyzes cyclic dependencies between packages and projects but NOT classes.

Your help would be appreciated in pointing out an existing rule, if available.

Thanks.
