An Automated Tool for Streamlining Software Engineering: Information Extraction and Decision

In the always-evolving and dynamic field of software development, good decision-making is absolutely critical. Developers have to regularly decide how best to apply features, optimize performance and debug issues. This process could be much improved by extracting actionable insights from software code. The presented work explores the tools and metrics available to enable developers to make data-driven decisions, therefore enhancing the development efficiency as well as code quality. Also, it introduces a new automated tool called CodeLens which analyzes software code, extract lines of code (LOC), documentation quality, complexity, and other key criteria. Through a consolidated view of such metrics, the tool helps developers evaluate code fit, spot possible bottlenecks, and prioritize optimization or refactoring efforts. Furthermore, the tool's support of Java and Python languages guarantees general applicability, hence fitting for many software projects.
