NAME

       Analizo::Metric::NumerOfPublicMethods - Number of Public Methods (NPM) metric

DESCRIPTION

       The metric calculation is based on the following article and calculates the number of
       public methods of a class.

       Article: Monitoring of source code metrics in open source projects by Paulo Roberto
       Miranda Meirelles.

       See the adaptation of the paragraph about Number of Public Methods in the article:

       Represents the size of the "interface" of the class. Methods are directly related to the
       operations provided in the respective class. High values for this metric indicate that a
       class has many methods and probably many responsibilities, which conflicts with good
       programming practices (Beck, 1997).
