Code Quality Metrics to Measure and Quantify Quality of Code
summary
Claims that code quality is measurable using concrete metrics: Halstead volume and cyclomatic complexity to quantify size and control‑flow, a Maintainability Index scaled 0–100 (aim for ~40–60), plus depth of inheritance, class coupling, lines/duplicates, test coverage (40% borderline, 70% strong), and code smells/deprecated APIs. Tools demonstrated: Visual Studio’s Calculate Code Metrics for project and solution, and mentions SonarQube, VS Code, IntelliJ and DepScan. Cites a CIO Dive figure of $2.08 trillion global cost in 2020 to show business impact.
