Namely, that one should not look at metrics independently, but within the context of other metrics. I described a rule that said unit test line coverage must be greater then 80% for all code with a cyclomatic complexity over 1. While you could enforce this rule in Panopticode 0.1 by creating a custom report, this is not ideal. Who wants to write Java code every time you make a new rule? This will get much easier in Panopticode 0.2. [...] [...] In Metrics Must be Interpreted In Context I described one of my preferences when creating rules around metrics.
