What is cyclomatic complexity?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Hi,
Cyclomatic complexcity is a methodology to measure the
complexity at a certain area of code.In other words it an
another way to reach at defect clustering.
Cyclomatic complexity is to measure the number of
independent paths in a program's source code.
The formula it follow: M = E- N + 2P
where
M = cyclomatic complexity
E = number of edges of the graph
N = number of nodes of the graph
P = the number of connected components.
**The easier one is like:n(umber of Decision statements in
the program being tested plus one.)
It provides the degree of testing/review required in a
certain area of code.

Answer / vidya
Cyclomatic complexity is a software metric (measurement).
It was developed by Thomas McCabe and is used to measure
the complexity of a program. It directly measures the
number of linearly independent paths through a program's
source code. It is computed using a graph that describes
the control flow of the program. The nodes of the graph
correspond to the commands of a program. A directed edge
connects two nodes if the second command might be executed
immediately after the first command.
Definition
M = E − N + 2P
where
M = cyclomatic complexity
E = the number of edges of the graph
N = the number of nodes of the graph
P = the number of connected components.
"M" is alternatively defined to be one larger than the
number of decision points (if/case-statements, while-
statements, etc) in a module (function, procedure, chart
node, etc.), or more generally a system.
Separate subroutines are treated as being independent,
disconnected components of the program's control flow graph.

Need urgent answers for the interview questions? Interviewer asked 1) when you don't have enough requirements spec how did you perform testing? 2) once the project went live if you come to know that there is a bigger defect(bug) what will you do? 3) when there is a bug in the code but not mentioned in the requirement spec( while testing for some other if you come to know this bug) what will you do? I answered these questions but interviewer was not satisfied can any one please tell me the best answers for these kind of situations. I have other interview next week so please provide me the answers or can email me the answers my I'd is tester582@gmail.com. Thanks in advance
