Support of Source Code Related Metrics

Graal produces analysis related to code complexity, quality, dependencies, vulnerability and licensing and the data produced conforms to the ones that can be processed by GrimoireLab. I will mainly be focusing on:

• Adding support of source code related metrics to Grimoirelab with the help of analysis data produced by Graal.
• Adapting Grimoirelab toolchain to be able to execute Graal and process the data produced by it.
• Writing appropriate unit tests for additional backends, their corresponding supporting connectors, and methods.
• Producing analytics related to proposed and calculated metrics* ( described below )
• Adding documentation related to additional features and improvements in existing ones.

Out of all the five backends provided by Graal, CoCom (Code Complexity) covers a vast majority of the popular languages and CoLic (Code License) supported by NOMOS & ScanCode helps us fetch license & copyright related information from software development repositories and is language independent. Addition of metrics related to these two backends during GSoC period could be applied to a wide range of projects in the future.
