三.Understand代码度量与Visual Studio代码度量
代码度量是一组软件度量值，使开发人员可以更好地了解他们正在开发的代码。利用代码度量，开发人员可以了解哪些类型和/或方法应该返工或进行更彻底的测试。开发团队可以识别潜在的风险、了解项目的当前状态，并跟踪软件开发的进度。
Visual Studio 2008及其以后的Perfessional及其以上的版本提供了代码度量功能。
VS提供了代码度量最核心的四个指标：Cyclomatic Complexity（圈复杂度），Depth of Inheritance（继承深度），Class Coupling（类耦合度），Lines of Code（代码行数）；另外还有一个综合这四个指标得出的一个评估值：Maintainability Index（可维护性指数）。
Understand代码度量则提供了更加详细的分析指标与报告。
如无特殊需求，Visual Studio自带的代码度量即可满足日常使用。
四.重要的度量参数简介
可维护性指数：计算一个介于 0 和 100 之间的指数值，表示维护代码的相对容易度。值越大表示可维护性越好。该计算基于 Halstead Volume、圈复杂度和代码的行数。按颜色标记的等级可用于迅速发现代码中的故障点。绿色等级介于 20 和 100 之间，表示代码的可维护性良好。黄色等级介于 10 和 19 之间，表示代码的可维护性中等。红色等级是介于 0 和 9 之间的等级，表示可维护性低。
圈复杂度：衡量代码在结构上的复杂程度。它通过计算程序流中的不同代码路径的数目（例如 if 块、switch case 以及 do、while、foreach 和 for 循环），然后在总数中加 1 来创建。具有复杂控制流的程序需要更多单元测试才能实现良好的代码覆盖率，并且不容易维护。如果数值在1到4之间，说明代码简明，风险低；如果在5到10，说明代码稳定，结构化良好，风险低；11到20，说明代码有点复杂，风险中等；21到50，说明代码非常复杂，风险高；大于50，说明代码已失控，风险极高。一个正面典型的程序模块的圈复杂度为10，20以内的圈复杂度都是可以接受的。
可以参考以下两篇文章
Project Metrics in Project Analyzer的Complexity metrics章节
继承深度：指明扩展到类层次结构根的类定义的数目。层次结构越深，则越难了解特定方法和字段是在何处定义或/和重新定义的。在类级别，该数目是通过计算继承树中从 0 开始的类型之上的类型数目（不包括接口）来创建的。在命名空间和项目级别，该计算包括命名空间或项目内所有类型的最高继承深度计算。好的继承层次应在3以内，最好不要超过5层。
类耦合：通过参数、局部变量、返回类型、方法调用、泛型或模板实例化、基类、接口实现、在外部类型上定义的字段以及属性修饰来衡量与唯一类的耦合程度。该计算不包 括基元类型和内置类型，例如 int32、字符串和对象。良好的软件设计要求类型和方法应具有较高的内聚力和较低的耦合。耦合较高表示设计难以重用和维护，这是因为它与其他类型之间存 在许多依存关系。目前还未查到权威文档对此值取值范围的说明，现行目标是尽可能的少。跟据经验，推荐为20以内。
代码的行数：指明代码中的大概行数。该计数基于 IL 代码，因此并不是源代码文件中的确切行数。该计算不包括空白、注释、括号以及成员、类型和命名空间的声明。计数过高可能表示某个类型或方法正在尝试执行过多的工作，应予以拆分。还可能表示该类型或方法难以维护。目前无推荐值。
