Is there a way to determine how many lines of code an Xcode project contains? I promise not to use such information for managerial measurement or employee benchmarking purposes. ;)

When I am in a .java file, the unused code is usually grayed out or has a green underline saying this code will probably (probably because of some weird JNI/Reflection corner cases) be unused. But ...

This seems a pretty straightforward thing to do, but I cannot find relevant information. In Visual Studio is very easy to calculate code metrics for all projects and I would like to do the same dur...

Code quality metric tool like Sonar does provide the ability to drill down to a class and find out the number of: Afferent (incoming) couplings Efferent (outgoing) couplings What are these two ...

So I'm trying to take the right path here and understand how to solve this cop, this looks like a small piece of code IMO, why is it complaining? moving the nested if-else doesn't change anything, ...

There has been a considerable amout of discussion about code metrics (e.g.: What is the fascination with code metrics?). I (as a software developer) am really interested in those metrics beca...

What is the prefered score range for the code metrics calculation for the following Maintainability Index Cyclomatic Complexity Depth of Inheritance class Coupling

One of the things I’ve been thinking about a lot off and on is how we can use metrics of some kind to measure change, are we going backwards or not? This is in the context of a large, legacy code b...

Code coverage is propably the most controversial code metric. Some say, you have to reach 80% code coverage, other say, it's superficial and does not say anything about your testing quality. ...

I'm receiving error on code analysis with visual studio 2017 on dotnet code projects. I have to say that in other projects everything is ok. I searched but nothing special to solve this error. the...

I have a relatively large Python project that I work on, and we don't have any cyclomatic complexity tools as a part of our automated test and deployment process. How important are cyclomati...

I've heard people say (although I can't recall who in particular) that the number of bugs per line of code is roughly constant regardless of what language is used. What is the research that backs t...

The code metrics analyser in Visual Studio, as well as the code metrics power tool, report the number of lines of code in the TestMethod method of the following code as 8. At the most, I would exp...

Issue description When I tried to run code metrics in Visual Studio 2013 for c# project (Analyze -> Calculate Code Metrics for Solution) I get following error: "an error occurred while calculatin...

I do some tests with Visual Studio Code Metrics. As I can calculate the Cyclomatic Complexity, each if, while, for - operators increase the complexity with 1. I have the next simple method: static...

In recent earlier versions of Visual Studio (i.e.: earlier than VS2017), Microsoft released a separate code metrics powertool that could be run through the command line and generate an XML containi...

Recently, I encountered a sementic issue in the way of calculating the LCOM4, a metric used to find how the methods and the properties of a class are cohersive. Introduction LCOM4 is "the 4th met...

Suppose I have the original method below. public String someMethod(String str) { String returnStr; if("BLAH".equals(str)) { returnStr="ok"; } else if ("BLING".equals(str)) { returnStr="not o...

If you were to mandate a minimum percentage code-coverage for unit tests, perhaps even as a requirement for committing to a repository, what would it be? Please explain how you arrived at yo...

We are documenting our software development process. For technical people, this is pretty easy: iterative development with internal milestones every four weeks, external every 3 months. How...

My organization is emphasizing a line and branch coverage of 80%. I have absolutely no problem with the line coverage requirement, but the branch coverage has given me an issue. Let's take the fol...

Is block coverage the same as branch coverage, similar to it or completely different? The top Google link explaining branch coverage: http://www.tutorialspoint.com/software_testing_dictionary/bran...

Rubocop is always report the error: app/controllers/account_controller.rb:5:3: C: Assignment Branch Condition size for index is too high. [30.95/24] if params[:role] @users = @search.result....

As antiquated and painful as it is - I work at a company that continues to actively use VB6 for a large project. In fact, 18 months ago we came up against the 32k identifier limit. Not willing to...

I recently used NDepend and it produced a good report on my .net assemblies and related pdbs. The most interesting thing I found in the report was abstractness vs. instability graph. I wanted to u...
