pyComplexity

A small Python script that leverages the GNU Complexity project to create a set of score reports for student code. The script expects to be placed run in the root of a project turnin directory, as shown below, and to have Complexity installed.

Default Score Report Example

Nick Gonella
Complexity results for Project2
   Total Complexity:   248, target was 350, 100%
   Average Complexity: 13, target was 27, 100%
   Maximum Complexity: 31, target was 60, 100%
   Top Quartile Ratio: 0.45, target was 0.60, 100%

Score: 100%

The report as well as the references are defined in the config.py file.

Expected Structure

Main Project Folder
|-- < score traunch 1 >
|   |-- < student name >
|   |   |-- < Zipped Project file >
|   |-- < student name >
|   ...
|-- < score traunch 2 >
...

A score trauch folder designates a modifier on the raw score computed for each student. For example, the first trauch could be a folder '90', in which case the scorge generated from the student's individual metrics would be multiplied by 0.9. The Zipped Project File should be the only file in the student name directory, and should be compressed with Zip.

Limitations

Currently, this code only works on projects with the above mentioned specific file hierarchy.This design decision is because that is format of the student files which this script was originally intended for. If you wish to generalize the script, please send in a pull request and I will see what I want to do about generalization. Also, Complexity only works on C files, so this script will only grade those.
