lightweight-design-analysis

To analyze code design quality, evaluate class or module structures across dimensions like naming, coupling, and domain integrity. This process identifies design flaws such as anemic domain models or excessive feature envy, providing structured reports with severity levels and file:line references for actionable refactoring.

Object calisthenics is a code design discipline evaluated during analysis to enforce strict coding standards, such as single level of abstraction and no properties. Assessing object calisthenics improves clean code by highlighting structural complexity, which helps developers refactor toward better domain-driven design and immutability.

Identify an anemic domain model by analyzing domain integrity and coupling within your classes. A rigorous code design analysis flags when data and behavior are improperly separated, providing specific file:line references and concrete code examples to fix the model during refactoring.

Yes, this code analysis approach works for modules without external dependencies. It systematically evaluates internal code flow, type system, and simplicity to provide evidence-based findings, requiring no external libraries to assess design patterns or immutability within your source files.

The best way to get actionable refactoring recommendations is through evidence-based code analysis that outputs structured reports. By evaluating coupling, immutability, and performance with exact file:line references, developers receive concrete code examples to fix identified design flaws rather than vague suggestions.
