What does complexity mean?

Feature Request

Hi there! Great tool you are building here! Much appreciated. Looking at the documentation in the README.md, the example output has a measure of complexity:

Company.Example: Line Rate = 83%, Branch Rate = 69%, Complexity = 671, ✔
Company.Example.Library: Line Rate = 27%, Branch Rate = 100%, Complexity = 11, ❌
Summary: Line Rate = 83% (1212 / 1460), Branch Rate = 69% (262 / 378), Complexity = 682, ✔
Minimum allowed line rate is 50% 

I am wondering what does it mean and how it is measured?

The reason I am asking is because I ran the coverage report for the first time in my repo and I have zeroes for the Branch Rate and Complexity (please see the following). I am not sure if this is by design or I did something wrong.

Package	Line Rate	Branch Rate	Complexity	Health
some.package.a	77%	0%	0	✔
some.package.b	20%	0%	0	❌
Summary	80% (80 / 100)	0% (0 / 0)	0	✔

Expected Behaviour

It would be great if the documentation can be updated on complexity and branch rate as well.

Thanks!

Sounds good. Please feel free to fetch any of the build artifacts from this open source repo. All of the .coverage* files are the immediate file format that coverage.py consumes. To produce the Cobertura xml files, you can:

1. download any .covarage_* file to your working directory
2. pip install coverage
3. run python -m coverage xml to produce the xml files.

@laserprec I’ve just released CodeCoverageSummary v1.2.0 which includes support for hiding the Branch Rate and Complexity values. I’ve also included an explanation of the values in the project wiki.
