Creating a command line tool for source code metrics analysis

August 10th, 2011 Comments off

Recently, we have created a console application that parses an entire solution and shows summary information about declared types and the number of members in each type. Let’s tweak it a bit, so it provides more meaningful and useful information, such as a report of Maintenance Complexity (MC) code metric for a solution source code.

Code Issues – Complex Member

July 27th, 2011 Comments off

The Complex Member code issue of the smell type highlights complex members. A complex member is a member that may have too much code inside. The issue is based on a calculation of the Maintenance Complexity code metric. Maintenance complexity is a measure the structural complexity of a node (and its children), and represents how easy or challenging a method will be to understand and maintain. Scores closer to zero are simple. Small methods usually score below 150, while large/complex methods will exceed 500.

Code Issues fixes and suppression

July 25th, 2011 2 comments

Code Issues can be easily fixed with the corresponding code fixes. The code fixes are operations that allow you to automatically fix the issue by changing the source code, so the issue is no longer valid for the block of code in question. The code fixes are refactoring or code providers assigned to the code issues as fixes.

There are several ways to fix an issue:

  1. Code Fix hint
  2. Zoom Window
  3. Manually apply a fix

Code Issues navigation techniques

July 25th, 2011 Comments off

Analyzing the quality of your source code may take some time, especially if there are hundreds or thousands of code issues. While checking the code issues, you have to navigate thought all of them inside the entire solution. Here are available navigation techniques to switch between code issues:

  1. Code Fix hint
  2. Keyboard shortcuts
  3. Code Issues tool window
