Abstract


EasyCyclomaticComplexity (ECC) is a web tool in order to support the teaching of the metric of McCabe Cyclomatic Complexity, which calculates the number of independent paths from source code. Through the tool, algorithms are inserted and the result of complexity Cyclomatic (CC) is calculated and the associated graph is drawn, so as to assist the teaching of the technique.
