All Implemented Interfaces:

Configurable, Contextualizable

public class CyclomaticComplexityCheck
extends AbstractCheck

Checks cyclomatic complexity against a specified limit. The complexity is measured by the number of "if", "while", "do", "for", "?:", "catch", "switch", "case", "&&" and "||" statements (plus one) in the body of the member. It is a measure of the minimum number of possible paths through the source and therefore the number of required tests. Generally 1-4 is considered good, 5-7 ok, 8-10 consider re-factoring, and 11+ re-factor now!

Check has following properties:

switchBlockAsSingleDecisionPoint - controls whether to treat the whole switch block as a single decision point. Default value is false

Method Detail

setSwitchBlockAsSingleDecisionPoint

public void setSwitchBlockAsSingleDecisionPoint(boolean switchBlockAsSingleDecisionPoint)

Sets whether to treat the whole switch block as a single decision point.

Parameters:

switchBlockAsSingleDecisionPoint - whether to treat the whole switch block as a single decision point.

setMax

public final void setMax(int max)

Set the maximum threshold allowed.

Parameters:

max - the maximum threshold

getDefaultTokens

public int[] getDefaultTokens()

Description copied from class: AbstractCheck

Returns the default token a check is interested in. Only used if the configuration for a check does not define the tokens.

Specified by:

getDefaultTokens in class AbstractCheck

Returns:

the default tokens

getAcceptableTokens

public int[] getAcceptableTokens()

Description copied from class: AbstractCheck

The configurable token set. Used to protect Checks against malicious users who specify an unacceptable token set in the configuration file. The default implementation returns the check's default tokens.

Specified by:

getAcceptableTokens in class AbstractCheck

Returns:

the token set this check is designed for.
