Flog-Driven Development

• Flog

  6 907 5.5 Ruby

  Flog reports the most tortured code in an easy to read pain report. The higher the score, the more pain the code is in.

  

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:

• ruby-science

  11 546 6.2 Ruby

  The reference for writing fantastic Rails applications

  

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.
