You are all cordially invited to join us on Friday at 11:00 in L017 (CWI). Since I am now not physically close to Amsterdam, I will try to follow the talk and the discussion via Skype. Date: 20 July 2012 Time: 11:00 Room: L017 (CWI) Speaker: Jurgen Vinju Title: Eyeballing the Cyclomatic Complexity Metric Abstract: see below ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Eyeballing the Cyclomatic Complexity Metric We have recently been applying Rascal to try and observe what the Cyclomatic Complexity metric actually means for understandability of Java methods. We parsed lots of Java code, then reduced the methods to their "control flow patterns". We then used very basic statistical methods to observe that the CC metric may not be very informative about the intricacies of control flow in Java methods of open-source projects. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- http://event.cwi.nl/pem/calendar.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Yours, Vadim.
