Class ExcessivePublicCountRule

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    JavaParserVisitor, ImmutableLanguage, StatisticalRule, PropertySource, Rule
    public class ExcessivePublicCountRule
extends ExcessiveNodeCountRule
    Rule attempts to count all public methods and public attributes defined in a class.

    If a class has a high number of public operations, it might be wise to consider whether it would be appropriate to divide it into subclasses.

    A large proportion of public members and operations means the class has high potential to be affected by external classes. Futhermore, increased effort will be required to thoroughly test the class.
