A couple of more ideas from: https://medium.com/oolooroo/metrics-for-software-architects-and-designers-25b736a17a99

Average Component Dependency (ACD): Measures how many other components a given component depends on. Lower values are preferred as they suggest a more modular architecture.

Propagation Cost (PC): Quantifies how a change in one component might propagate to other components. Ideally, this should be minimized to ensure localized changes. [Roger] Not sure how this would be measured other than through dependencies

Structural Debt Index (SDI): A composite metric that captures the overall architectural debt. Higher SDI values can hint at increased maintenance costs in the future.

Maintainability Index (MI): An amalgamation of various metrics like cyclomatic complexity, lines of code, and comments. MI offers a snapshot of the code’s maintainability. Higher values are better, with values below 10 indicating low maintainability.

Cyclomatic Complexity: Measures the number of linearly independent paths through a program’s source code, providing insight into the code’s testability and maintainability.

Depth of Inheritance: Reflects the inheritance levels in object-oriented programs. A deeper inheritance tree might lead to more complexity and reduced modularity.

FLWG meeting on May 21 agreed that longer lists of metrics should go in the glossary, and clarified the list in the above PR #450.

@rhoadesre Could you review?

I'm confused. Exactly what should I review?
