Hi friends,
I have in charge the respect of quality and coding rules for a big project which is going to be realized by an offshore company.
This company will use our framework (struts, hibernate, technical services...) and must respect our methodology.
We have to define performance and quality metrics.
So my question is pretty simple, which tools, you guys are you using to bench the perf (example: sql generated and so HQL optimised) and to verify code quality (example: layer isolation).

What we are using:
- JUnit, strutstestcase
- jalopy for code formatting
- checkstyle for layer isolation ....
- loadrunner for perfs/stress test but the J2EE plug in only works with EJB, am i right?

We want to launch a "verification" suite which launch each of our tool and at the end show use metrics (12% classes does respect isolation, 26% SQL (so HQL) seem not ok....).

So i thank you for sharing your experience.

The biggest issue is Hibernate best practices (good ORM comprehension, session per user tx, cache usage etc...) but there is no tool for that and it's not that easy to explain and write down (an Hibernate Training should solve that anyway - How about a public training in Bangalore ;-) )

We tryed to use Cast in my corp as a code quality checker, but it's a static analyser and is very expensive.
Manual random code checking is the best I've found so far.

thanks emmanuel,
i was thinking about tracing sql generated during tests, this would give us where abusive N+1 problem occurs, where sql is not optimized that would say that either mapping logic OR hql query is bad... it's not very easy

There is metrics report available for Hibernate at http://www.sourcekibitzer.org/project.p ... e-3/trunk/

It will definitly not solve all quality problems, but can give another point of view on Hibernate project activity and quality
