Metric Name:
Number of public methods
What:
This metric measures how many public methods an interface or a class exposes.
Default setting:
Any public methods or class with more than 7 methods triggers negative Observation Score points.
Why:
If an interface or a class exposes a high number of methods, it often indicates that the interface defines too big responsibility or a class that takes care of too many tasks. This often decreases maintainability.
What to do:
Consider refactoring the interface/class to more interfaces/classes where each has a smaller responsibility/fewer tasks.
