Jun 24NPath Complexity
by in Feature Articles on 2024-07-23We're not going to look at code today, and instead, we're going to talk about a code metric. Specifically, "NPath complexity".
NPath complexity is a good metric to track, and many static analyzers will do it. Formally written, it's defined: "The NPath complexity of a method is the number of acyclic execution paths through that method." Or, more simply, not counting loop iterations, this is how many branches you have in a single method.
