File Metrics for Java

This document outlines the definition of file metrics for Java.

complexity

The "complexity" metric counts:

• if and else if statements
• ternary operators
• for loops with following syntaxes:
  • for (<initialization>; <termination>; <increment>) {...}
  • for (<element> : <iterable>) {...}
• while and do...while loops
• case labels in switch-statements
• catch blocks
• logical binary operations && and ||
• everything counted for the "functions" metric

It does not count:

• .forEach(...) method call for iterables and other of built-in function calls

functions

The "functions" metric counts:

• method declarations and definitions in classes, abstract classes and interfaces
• static methods and constructors
• lambda expressions
• initialization block (static and non-static)

classes

The "classes" metric counts:

• definitions of class, abstract class, interface, enum and record
• anonymous classes
