DebtRatio Method (IIssuesSet)

Estimate the ratio of technical debt, measured through AllDebtIn(ICodeElement)(). This ratio is expressed in percentage, of estimated debt, compared to the estimated time it would take to rewrite from scratch.

Syntax

Nullable<double> DebtRatio( 
   ICodeElement codeElement
)

Parameters

codeElement: The code element on which we infer the percentage of debt.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentException	Thrown if the codeElement doesn't belong to CodeBase.

Remarks

This method implementation calls this.DebtFormatter.NDepend.TechnicalDebt.IDebtFormatter.ToDebtRatio and returns null if NDepend.TechnicalDebt.IDebtFormatter.ToDebtRatio returns null, which happens when the PDB file is not found for the assembly containing , which means that NDepend.CodeModel.ExtensionMethodsHelpers.GetNbLinesOfCode_GuaranteedIfPDBFound returns null.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 11, 10, 8, 7 and Linux, MacOS with net8.0, net7.0 or net6.0 installed
