Inspectopedia Help

Class with too many dependencies

Reports classes that are directly dependent on too many other classes in the project.

Modifications to any dependency of such classes may require changing the class, thus making it prone to instability.

Only top-level classes are reported.

Use the Maximum number of dependencies field to specify the maximum allowed number of dependencies for a class.

Available only from Code | Inspect Code or Code | Analyze Code | Run Inspection by Name and isn't reported in the editor.
