Abstract
A method, a computer program product, and a computer system for automating calculation of a comprehensibility score for a software program. An analytics engine on a computer matches tokens of the software program with a language dictionary, a domain specific vocabulary, and a language grammar. The analytics engine determines a comprehensibility score for the software program, based on matching tokens. The analytics engine provides the comprehensibility score to a reviewer evaluating the software program.
