Analysis of Existing Projects

We use our own proprietary tools to measure features of a legacy FoxPro or DBASE or Clipper program. These tools have proven invaluable in estimating the level of complexity in the program. If we know which parts are simple and which parts are complex we can use a factor in our estimate to be sure we don't over-estimate the fee to port the simpler sections of your code. This makes us more confident of our quotes so we can take on jobs porting your aging software -- and allow it to use the modern OOP technologies that are available today.

By using these tools, it makes it simpler to count the number of screens and reports in your program. You will still need to tell us which ones you are actually using. There is no need to spend time converting code that is not being used.

Link Description
Wiki Topics The Fox Wiki is a great source of information on measuring code complexity, as well as many other topics of interest to the Visual FoxPro developer community. If you haven't perused Steve Black's web site or Wiki yet, there's no time like the present.
Cyclomatic Complexity This site goes into more information about the math behind the theory.
