Coupling Between Objects

API Name: CountClassCoupled
Research: Chidamber & Kemerer - Coupling Between Objects (CBO)
Description: The Coupling Between Object Classes (CBO) measure for a class is a count of the number of other classes to which it is coupled. Class A is coupled to class B if class A uses a type, data, or member from class B. This metric is also referred to as Efferent Coupling (Ce). Any number of couplings to a given class counts as 1 towards the metric total

Chidamber & Kemerer suggest that:
1) Excessive coupling between object classes is detrimental to modular design and prevents reuse.
2) Inter-object class couples should be kept to a minimum.
3) The higher the inter-object class coupling, the more rigorous testing needs to be.

Cyclomatic Complexity

API Name: Cyclomatic
Research: McCabe Complexity (v(G))
Description: McCabe Cyclomatic complexity as per the original NIST paper on the subject.

McCabe also proved that the cyclomatic complexity of any structured program with only one entrance point and one exit point is equal to the number of decision points contained in that program plus one (refer to section V for the proof).
Understand counts the keywords for decision points (FOR, WHILE, etc) and then adds 1. For a switch statement, each 'case' is counted as 1 and the 'switch' itselfs adds one to the final Cyclomatic Complexity count.

Research: ev(G)
Description: Essential complexity is the Cyclomatic complexity after iteratively replacing all well structured control structures with a single statement. Structures such as if-then-else and while loops are considered well structured.
Understand calculate the essential complexity by removing all the structured subgraphs from the control graph and then calculating the complexity. A graph that has only the regular single entry/single exit loops or branches will be reducible to a graph with complexity one. Any branches into or out of a loop or decision will make the graph non-reducible and will have essentialcomplexity > 2. (You never get 2 since a graph with complexity 2 is always reducible to a graph with complexity 1).

Knots

API Name: Knots
Description: Measure of overlapping jumps. If a piece of code has arrowed lines indicating where every jump in the flow of control occurs, a knot is defined as where two such lines cross each other. The number of knots is proportional to the complexity of the control flow.

Depth of Inheritance Tree

API Name: MaxInheritanceTree
Research: Chidamber & Kemerer - Depth of Inheritance Tree (DIT)
Description: The depth of a class within the inheritance hierarchy is the maximum number of nodes from the class node to the root of the inheritance tree. The root node has a DIT of 0. The deeper within the hierarchy, the more methods the class can inherit, increasing its complexity.

Lack of Cohesion in Methods

API Name: PercentLackOfCohesion
Research: Chidamber & Kemerer - Lack of Cohesion in Methods (LCOM/LOCM)
Description: 100% minus average cohesion for class data members. Calculates what percentage of class methods use a given class instance variable. To calculate, average percentages for all of that class'es instance variables and subtract from 100%. A lower percentage means higher cohesion between class data and methods.
