In pursuit of code quality: Monitoring cyclomatic complexity
Article by Andrew Glover, 7 pages, 30 minutes.
In this second article in the series, Glover introduces cyclomatic complexity as an indicator of the amount of testing that a code needs. In itself this is a nice idea. But it needs to be backed up by tools that clearly tell you the number of paths that are tested. Most tools emulate this using a "branch count", but from my limited understanding this is not the same thing. Anyway, the article is a nice introduction to cyclomatic complexity.
