Using the Trial for Assessment Translations and Code MetricsThe of Large Codes
As described above, the free gmStudio Trial is a powerful VB6/COM code analysis tool with extensive code metrics reporting features. When used with larger codes it will also run "Assessment Translations". These Assessment Translations produce only logs rather than code, but the logs will tell us if there are initial has a limit on lines of code: if you are working with a project that exceeds the license limit, it will still process that code generating logs and reports, but it not generate a translation. We refer to this as an "Assessment Translations" and the resulting log will report us if there are problems with getting a baseline translation. This can help validate the readiness of gmStudio for your code and environment for using gmStudio. Note Note that gmStudio always works best when you run it on a machine were the VB6 is know to build as this helps to ensure both the code and COM files are configured properly relative to the VBP.
The Trial version also supports code analysis tool with extensive code metrics reporting features for any size codebase. See this article . It that described /wiki/spaces/BIZDEV/pages/1322599. It is for setting up code to share with us, but it applies to setting up in general.

Having said that, while source metrics are helpful, when we do an assessment we also run audits of the generated code and examine .NET build logs to see what we see there. This information based on generated code is very important to estimating a project that will use gmStudio -- even if only to get started. Furthermore, metrics are only the AS-IS part of the estimation model, TO-BE and HOW are also critical. Please see this Getting Started article for information on getting help with an upgrade assessment.
