Cyclomatic Inventory

Cyclomatic inventory is a method used to analyze and quantify the complexity of software code. It measures the number of independent paths through a program’s control flow, which helps assess testing effort and potential risk areas. By understanding how many different decision points and logical branches exist, developers can determine the minimum number of tests needed to cover all possible execution paths. This metric facilitates better planning for quality assurance, improves code maintainability, and identifies complex sections that may require more careful review or refactoring.
