Discover Diverse Code Metrics with CppDepend

Quick Top 20 Features Video

Evaluating a code base involves various approaches, with the most common one being the measurement of lines of code. This metric offers a rough estimate of the development effort put into the code base while identifying bloated methods and classes to achieve a quality level agreement.

CppDepend goes beyond just counting lines of code by offering more than 80 diverse code metrics. These metrics cover aspects such as code organization (e.g., the number of classes or namespaces, methods declared within a class), code quality (e.g., complexity, comment percentage, parameter count, class cohesion), and code structure (e.g., most-used types, inheritance depth). By harnessing the power of CppDepend, developers can gain invaluable insights into their code base, paving the way for improved overall code quality.
