- In pursuit of code quality: Tame the chatterbox by Andrew Glover - [Clicks: 23]
Just seeing a sprawling code block from a distance gives some developers the willies -- and it should! Loquacious code is often the hallmark of complexity, which results in code that is hard to test and maintain. This month, learn three important ways to measure code complexity, based on method length, class length, and intra-class coupling. In this installment of In pursuit of code quality, quality expert Andrew Glover starts out with tips for eyeballing code excess, then shows you how to use tools like PMD and JavaNCSS for more precision when you need it.
