Abstract
An exemplary method includes receiving source code having a plurality of code segments, providing a desired level of quality for the source code, analyzing the source code to assign a complexity measure to each of the plurality of code segments and assigning a level of code coverage to each of the plurality of code segments based at least in part on the desired level of quality and the complexity measures. An exemplary system prioritizes quality improvements to source code based, in part, on a quality assessment. Such a system can improve code quality by assigning higher test coverage levels to modules with higher complexity.
