Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for aggregating source code metric values. One of the methods includes obtaining data representing a directed graph, wherein one or more nodes of the graph are associated with a respective set of one or more metric instances, wherein each set of metric instances for each node includes all metric instances occurring in sets of any node descendant from the node in the graph, wherein each metric instance identifies a location in a source code base, and wherein each metric instance has a respective metric value, a respective identifier, and a respective attribute type. An attribute value is computed for a first node in the graph from the respective metric value of each metric instance in a first set of metric instances associated with the first node.
