Is there a “tool” program that can open an .seq TestStand file and determine what the equivalent lines of code?

Is there  a “tool” program that can open an .seq TestStand file and determine what the equivalent  lines of code?  ? This would be valuable to use so that we can determine program metrics

your best bet is to use the size of the file.

You can spit out a .seq file in ini or xml but that doesn't necessarily telly you the lines of code.  the problem is that all of the default data is left blank to save file space.

You also have to take into consideration all of the dependencies.  How do you account for that?

If you run the Sequence Analyzer it has some statistics associated with it.  It tells how many steps and sequences and files exist.  The problem is that you can configure a step to loop and avoid 4 other steps (flow control steps).  So is that really teling of how much code exists?

Hope this helps,

Hi,

There is a built in tool but it has its limitations.You can try this :

Open your sequence in TestStand.

Go to Tools --> Sequence File Documentation.

It will print a report which also contains no of steps.

It did not work with sequence call to external files but worked fine with subsequences within the file.

Hope this helps.
