I'd love to know if their measurement of comment density actually measures whether the comment is useful
# Adds 1 to i
i = i + 1
and whether
# This
# is
# a
# comment
gets a higher score than
# This is a comment
I'd also like to know if it can cope with negative numbers as related in this tale from 1982
Worryingly it seems to be a finalist in some CEO awards
I suppose if it proves successful then we can look forward to Testmeter and Managemeter and if software is an art then maybe it's a good thing there was never a Renaissancemeter - "not enough brush strokes, Leonardo! ", "inefficient use of the chisel, Michelangelo"

Speaking of Testmeter; we have an 'Escalations' team who test patches/quick fixes by Dev before they are sent out to the customer. Apparently management are now trying to gather stats on how long a tester takes per patch/quick fix. It's been explained that this is pretty much impossible to gather stats on but they are going ahead with it (apparently).
