Depth of Inheritance Tree (DIT) measures the complexity of a class hierarchy. It represents the number of levels from a given class up to the root class in the inheritance hierarchy, the deeper the hierarchy, the higher the DIT value.
Number of Children (NOC) measures the width of an inheritance hierarchy level. It represents the number of subclasses that inherit from a common super class.
Instability measures the relative susceptibility to breaking changes of a software component. A component with a high Instability is likely to change more often than one with a low Instability.
Use Sw!ftalyzer via the command line. This enables the integration of Sw!ftalyzers extensive analysis into existing CI/CD flows and other kinds of automations.
Highlight unintended dependencies between your modules, groups, files or entities with Warnings, so that you can find and fix them easily.
Splitting an app into modules is an essential technique for managing software complexity. Modules allow us developers to focus on smaller parts of the app at a time by hiding away complexity. Learn more about how to create modules that hide complexity instead of adding to it.
How does Sw!ftalyzer know which entities belong to which of Apples frameworks? In this article we’ll show you where this information is coming from and how you can get this data yourself.
This metric shows how many of your code entities depend on frameworks. The more of your entities use a framework, the higher is the dependency to that framework. A high dependency is not always bad, but it can increase the maintenance costs and your vulnerability in case of breaking changes in a framework.
Sw!ftalyzer shows you an overview of the lengths of all files in a histogram. This gives you more context than looking at each file individually and helps to spot outliers. Learn more about how Sw!ftalyzer helps you improving your app.
When removing an old and unused feature or refactoring code, it’s easy to miss that some part of the code stays in the project although it’s no longer in usage. Sw!ftalyzer analyses all dependencies and can find entities without any incoming dependencies.
Sharing code via Target Memberships is easy but has a bunch of disadvantages. Learn more about the problems and how Sw!ftalyzer helps you identify shared files.
