Data Tables

Package quality metrics

io.moderne.prethink.table.PackageQualityMetrics

Per-package architectural metrics including afferent/efferent coupling, instability, abstractness, distance from main sequence, and dependency cycle membership.

Column NameDescription
Package nameThe fully qualified package name.
Afferent coupling (Ca)Number of external packages that depend on this package.
Efferent coupling (Ce)Number of external packages this package depends on.
InstabilityCe / (Ce + Ca). 0.0 = maximally stable, 1.0 = maximally unstable.
AbstractnessRatio of abstract classes + interfaces to total classes in the package.
Distance from main sequence
In cycleWhether this package is part of a dependency cycle.
Cycle membersComma-separated list of packages in the same dependency cycle, or null if not in a cycle.
