Thomas McCabe
A software engineering researcher who, in 1976, introduced the Cyclomatic Complexity metric to quantify the number of independent execution paths in source code as a measure of its structural complexity.
Core Facts
Cyclomatic Complexity was proposed by Thomas McCabe in 1976 to measure the complexity of a program's control flow.
Cyclomatic complexity was proposed by Thomas McCabe in 1976, calculated as M = E - N + 2P, and the industry typically sets the upper limit of cyclomatic complexity for a single module at 10–15.
