Metrics

Metrics refer to quantitative measurements used to evaluate the performance, quality, and behavior of the code.

These metrics help understand how the application behaves in production, identify bottlenecks, optimize performance, and ensure code quality.

Here are some common metrics in PHP:

• Time of execution

• Memory consumption

• Number of database queries

• cyclomatic complexity

• code coverage

• cognitive complexity

• code duplication

• lines of code

PHPMetrics is also the name of an eponymous project.
