- The Cyclomatic Complexity of a method is really the minimum number of unit tests needed to test very path in a method.
- By reducing CC, usually by breaking large methods down, you reduce the number of tests you need to write !
- Complexian - www.cogentconsulting.com.au/resources/complexian/index.html
- FindBugs - usually needs human to interpret. Good to hook in but not run in CI. Human can run so often
- SourceMonitor
- JOODI - Package level checking. Good to enforce certain layers only access other layers e.g.
- Spec#
