Software metrics provide objective signals for code health, delivery risk, and team performance. They are most useful when they are simple to calculate, clearly defined, and tied to actionable decisions.

Complexity Metrics

• Aggregate Complexity
• Cognitive Complexity
• Cyclomatic Complexity

Other Software Metrics

• Bug Rate
• Code Coverage
• Cycle Time
• Defect Density
• Lead Time
• Maintainability Index
• Mean Time to Recovery
• Number of Open Bugs
• Rework Rate
• Team Throughput
• Technical Debt Ratio
