Purpose

Most Frequently Modified Files shows top 20 files having the biggest counter of modifications per each connected GIT repository. This works based on information in GIT commits history, having paths of files associated with each commit.

How metric helps

Most Frequently Modified Files helps to find out the most fragile points in the code base / architecture by showing a modification frequency for files in a project code base.

How it works

Chart overview

Chart shows Most Frequently Modified Files in a number of changes - Axis Y by file - Axis Y. The chart can be viewed for the last 30/90 days of for the whole project duration in GIT.
Next to the chart name there is a link to GIT repository ('arrow').

Calculation formula

Total value for a file is a number of changes made in this file during a considered period. Then the total values for all files are placed in descending order and first 20 file names are shown in the chart,

RAG thresholds: n/a.

Data Source

Data for the metric can be collected from GIT.
