Aravind On Software - The Cerberus

Who Am I

Myself Aravind HU , an experienced, hands-on software architect, involved in the architecture, design, and implementation of microservices architectures, service-oriented architectures, micro front-end architectures, and other distributed systems in a variety of technologies. Being in the software industry for around 15 years have built significant competencies in application, integration, and enterprise architecture, mostly within the Finance, Healthcare, and Construction Domains.

What is This

This is my personal website, I call this as "Aravind On Software". it's a collection of superficial piecemeal knowledge of my own on Technology, Programming, Process, Patterns, Platforms, Paradigms, Frameworks and bit of Philosophy. Most of them are devoted to Software Developers.

The Cerberus

Cerberus was a brain child of my self and my fellow colleague Datta. It is a tool to measure code quality parameters, which can be used as a watch dog to observe code quality parameters like copy paste errors, suppressed warnings etc., and also to gate builds when the allowed thresholds for the parameters being observed is breached.

Post doing several releases of Cerberus , I have figured out some creative ways of using Cerberus which I am publishing here. These are the ways that I use Cerberus for identifying code quality.

1. Identifying Dead code using Cerberus

2. Identifying High Complexity Code In Large Java Code base
