A static analysis tool to gather a few metrics, like what code should have priority in refactoring.

The metrics aimed for are:

- Hotspots detection (complexity \* change\_rate)
    - Prioritize code for refactoring
- Code units temporal coupling
    - If there is no reason for them to change together (unlike tests and the code they test), they should probably be refactored
- Code units ownership analysis
    - To detect team knowledge deficiencies

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

This tool works in 2 steps:

1. Mine the project for data, which is put in a sqlite DB
    - `phorensic:extract [] [] []`
2. Query a sqlite DB for information
    - `phorensic:analyse  []`

So, for example:

```
bin/run phorensic:extract /opt/my_project "last month" "./analyse_2016-12-20_23:51:36.sqlite"
bin/run phorensic:analyse "./analyse_2016-12-20_23:51:36.sqlite" 20
```

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

To install the library, run the command below and you will get the latest version:

```
composer require hgraca/phorensic

```

Tests
-----

[](#tests)

To run the tests run:

```
make test
```

Or just one of the following:

```
make test-acceptance
make test-functional
make test-integration
make test-unit
make test-humbug
```

To run the tests in debug mode run:

```
make test-debug
```

Coverage
--------

[](#coverage)

To generate the test coverage run:

```
make coverage
```

Code standards
--------------

[](#code-standards)

To fix the code standards run:

```
make cs-fix
```

Todo
----

[](#todo)

- Create Builder class so that we can do dep inj with the commands and make them testable
- Test the commands

- Create command to find classes with temporal-coupling
- Create command to find specific class ownership
- Create command to find specific package ownership
- Create command to find ownership analysis (ownership fractals)
