Number of Class vs SIT defects

8% of classes is contributing to 100% of SIT defects

Study from European university

Key parameters measured Cyclomatic complexity/LOC No. of methods/class No. of Calls/method LOC/method

Detailed study of the data shows most of the SIT & AT defects are occurring amongst the top four Java classes shown in the sample data above which have highly toxic code with high method length
