Cyclomatic complexity
Cyclomatic complexity
Slide 1: Introduction to Cyclomatic Complexity
Cyclomatic complexity is a software metric used to measure
the complexity of a program’s control flow
Developed by Thomas McCabe in 1976
• Helps determine the number of linearly independent paths
through a program’s source code
Cyclomatic complexity
Slide 2: Purpose of Cyclomatic Complexity
Quantifies the logical complexity of a program
Helps identify areas of code that are complex and hard to test
• Assists in determining the minimum number of test cases
for full branch coverage
