Are there any static and/or dynamic analysis tools for Ruby? FxCop for  
Ruby?

Thanks.

There’s the nascent checkr project:

[http://rubyforge.org/projects/checkr/](http://rubyforge.org/projects/checkr/)

It’s got a small bit of code in Subversion:

[http://rubyforge.org/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php/lib/?root=checkr](http://rubyforge.org/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php/lib/?root=checkr)

It’s a start, anyhow.

Yours,

Tom

wow, I didn’t realize people were looking. At this point, Sean and I  
are  
just spiking with ParseTree and SexpProcessor. As we learn a bit  
more about how these (really powerful) tools work, we hope to get  
some good stuff going.
