cyclomatic_metric {understandBPMN}

Cyclomatic metric of McCabe

Description

Cyclomatic metric takes into account the behavioral complexity of a process model. It is calculated by taking the number of activities minus the number of events, gateways and connector activities plus the number of strongly connected components. The number of strongly connected components is calculated by taking the number of exclusive gateways at depth level zero, when the depth is calculated only including exclusive gateways

Usage

cyclomatic_metric(file_path, signavio = FALSE,
  path_log_already_created = FALSE, generate_new_path_log = FALSE,
  time_to_generate_path_log = 1500)

Arguments

file_path

document object created using the create_internal_document function

signavio

boolean which indicates whether the file stems from signavio

path_log_already_created

boolean which indicates whether the path log has already been created before or not. When you are not sure, it is best to use the standard which is false

generate_new_path_log

used when it is not possible to save the path log such as with the Rapid miner or in unit tests and examples

time_to_generate_path_log

time which is the maximum time to generate a new path log in seconds. The standard setting is 1500 seconds.

Value

an integer indicating the coefficient of network connectivity

Examples

cyclomatic_metric(file_path, generate_new_path_log = TRUE)
