MetricsDelta

This little CLI (Command-line interface) tool is capable of comparing two code metric reports and generates single report that contains delta (difference) changes as well as gradings on metrics. Metrics are graded according to configurable thresholds. This is useful in monitoring changes in quality/maintainability of code. MetricsDelta can be used as part of pipeline quality checks.

More information about code metrics report and how to generate it can be found here:
