Cyclomatic Complexity
Cyclomatic Complexity (CC), introduced by Thomas McCabe in 1976, is a quantitative metric measuring the number of linearly independent paths through a function's control-flow graph. A function with high cyclomatic complexity is harder to understand, test, and maintain; McCabe advocated a threshold of 10 as the complexity limit for maintainability.
