Flog-Driven Development
So, bigger is worse, but how big is bad? At what number should you take action? Thoughtbot's Ruby Science book suggests a method is long or complex with a flog score above 10. It also posits that a class is long or complex with a flog score above 50.

Practical approach to software complexity
Taking actual measurements is pretty easy and usually limited to execution of a single command. In ruby universe that would be flog.

Flog-Driven Development
You point flog to a file, or directory, and it provides you with a score. The higher the score, the more attention you might want to pay to it. As for how flog calculates the number, I'll let flog summarize itself again:
-

Flog checks how difficult your code is to test. It sets a complexity score for each line of code and sums up the score for each method and class.
