Abstract
There is number of tools devised over the past several years either commercial or free for the evaluation of static and dynamic metrics. In this paper, authors compared various existing static and dynamic metrics tools based on type, output format, language and metrics supported by tools and observational perspective of survey reveals that there exist very few dynamic metrics evaluation tools as compared to tools available for static metrics. Further, study reveals that number of languages supported by dynamic metrics tools is very limited and there is a need to explore dynamic cohesion and polymorphism metrics as most of the researchers working on computing coupling and complexity metrics in Object-Oriented environment.
