The distribution of complexity of units (measured with McCabe index).
Intro
- Conditional complexity (also called cyclomatic complexity) is a term used to measure the complexity of software. The term refers to the number of possible paths through a program function. A higher value ofter means higher maintenance and testing costs (infosecinstitute.com).
- Conditional complexity is calculated by counting all conditions in the program that can affect the execution path (e.g. if statement, loops, switches, and/or operators, try and catch blocks...).
- Conditional complexity is measured at the unit level (methods, functions...).
- Units are classified in four categories based on the measured McCabe index: 1-5 (simple units), 6-10 (medium complex units), 11-25 (complex units), 26+ (very complex units).
Conditional Complexity Overall
- There are 1,838 units with 36,684 lines of code in units (42.6% of code).
- 4 very complex units (1,431 lines of code)
- 13 complex units (2,402 lines of code)
- 72 medium complex units (5,869 lines of code)
- 130 simple units (4,957 lines of code)
- 1,619 very simple units (22,025 lines of code)
