Abstract

Analyzing dynamic source code. A method includes accessing a specific metadata format data structure. The data structure was created by obtaining one or more first data structures defining constructs in a body of dynamic language source code. From the one or more first data structures, identifier information is extracted for one or more of the defined constructs. Knowledge about the constructs is augmented. The metadata format data structure is parsed to compute metrics about the metadata format data structure. The metrics about the metadata format data structure are provided to a user.
