Quality Audit Software applied to Free Software

Question

I'm doing an investigation searching for quality audit software applied to free software but haven't not much luck so far. I already found information of software that make quality audit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-aided_audit_tools but don't know if those applies to free software too.

Any idea or information in this matter will be very useful.

Thanks in advanced.

There's the annual Open Source Code Quality report, which seems to be the most relevant document.

Answer 2

From experience working with CAAT technology, IDEA software has been the strongest by far, but it is not free. I'm sure there is some free software, but it will be poor quality.
