Abstract

This paper presents a comparison between C and C+ + source code automatically generated by CASE tools, and those hand made. In order to compare these two different kinds of implementation, some software static metrics were chosen, due to its soundness and confidence when applied to source code evaluation. A critical real time embedded software for a student satellite onboard computer was considered. Finally, this work points to some preliminary differences between those two implementations, related to software quality applied to an aerospace software prototype.
