In attempting to describe the quality of computer software, one of the more frequently mentioned measurable attributes is complexity of the flow of control. During the past several years, there have ...

Cyclomatic complexity is defined as the number of linearly independent paths through the program's control flow graph, which is a representation of the program's structure and logic.

Assessing the understandability of source code remains an elusive yet highly desirable goal for software developers and their managers. While many metrics have been suggested and investigated ...

The cyclomatic complexity is then calculated using the formula: M = E - N + 2P, where: E is the number of edges in the control flow graph (number of decision points + 1) N is the number of nodes in ...

Googling on Cyclomatic Complexity (CC), gives some interesting results… Among those results, you'll find the two following definitions : A measure of the complexity of a software module, equal to e – ...

N is the number of nodes in the control flow graph (number of statements + 1) P is the number of connected components (1 for a single function) For our example, E = 4, N = 5, and P = 1. Therefore, the ...

ABSTRACT: Researchers have often commented on the high correlation between McCabe’s Cyclomatic Complexity (CC) and lines of code (LOC). Many have believed this correlation high enough to justify ...

There are various factors that can contribute to the complexity of a type or a method pertaining to a type in your application’s code. Cyclomatic complexity is a popular metric that is used to ...
