In Pursuit of Code Quality: Tame the chatterbox
Tools and metrics for measuring code verbosity
The sixth article in IBM developerWorks’ series “In Pursuit of Code Quality,” by Stelligent President Andrew Glover, explores three important ways to measure code complexity, based on method length, class length, and intra-class coupling.
Glover also illustrates in Tame the chatterbox how to use tools like PMD and JavaNCSS for more precision when you need it. By continuously monitoring complexity metrics, you can make smarter decisions and lower your risk while extending and maintaining your code base over time.
