Analysis Methodology

1. Coding Standards Check

Drupal (PHPCS)

# Install Drupal Coder
composer require drupal/coder

# Configure PHPCS
./vendor/bin/phpcs --config-set installed_paths vendor/drupal/coder/coder_sniffer

# Run standards check
./vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=Drupal,DrupalPractice \
  --extensions=php,module,inc,install,test,profile,theme,css,info,txt,md \
  modules/custom/my_module/

# Check specific file
./vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=Drupal path/to/file.php

# Show sniff codes
./vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=Drupal -s modules/custom/

Standards Checked:

• Drupal: Coding standards (indentation, naming, spacing)
• DrupalPractice: Best practices (security, performance, API usage)

WordPress (PHPCS)

# Install WordPress Coding Standards
composer require wp-coding-standards/wpcs

# Configure PHPCS
./vendor/bin/phpcs --config-set installed_paths vendor/wp-coding-standards/wpcs

# Run standards check
./vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=WordPress \
  --extensions=php \
  wp-content/plugins/my-plugin/

# Run specific standard
./vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=WordPress-Core wp-content/themes/my-theme/
./vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=WordPress-Extra wp-content/themes/my-theme/

# Exclude tests

npm run lint

# Or directly
npx eslint src/

# Fix auto-fixable issues
npx eslint src/ --fix

# Specific file
npx eslint src/components/MyComponent.js

2. Static Analysis

PHPStan (PHP)

# Install PHPStan
composer require --dev phpstan/phpstan

# Run analysis (level 0-9, 9 is strictest)
./vendor/bin/phpstan analyse src/ --level=5

# Drupal extension
composer require --dev mglaman/phpstan-drupal
# Then configure in phpstan.neon

# WordPress extension
composer require --dev szepeviktor/phpstan-wordpress

TypeScript (JavaScript)

# Run TypeScript compiler checks
npx tsc --noEmit

# Specific file
npx tsc --noEmit src/components/MyComponent.tsx

3. Complexity Analysis

# PHP: PHPLOC (Lines of Code, Complexity)
composer require --dev phploc/phploc
./vendor/bin/phploc src/

# PHP: PHP Metrics (Cyclomatic Complexity, Maintainability Index)
composer require --dev phpmetrics/phpmetrics
./vendor/bin/phpmetrics --report-html=build/metrics/ src/

# JavaScript: complexity-report
npm install -g complexity-report
cr src/ --format json

4. Code Duplication

# PHP: PHP Copy/Paste Detector (PHPCPD)

./vendor/bin/phpcpd src/

# JavaScript: jscpd
npm install -g jscpd
jscpd src/

Quality Metrics

Cyclomatic Complexity

Measures: Number of linearly independent paths through code

Thresholds:

• 1-10: Simple, low risk
• 11-20: Moderate complexity, medium risk
• 21-50: Complex, high risk
• 50+: Very complex, very high risk - REFACTOR

Example:

// Complexity: 5 (1 function + 4 decision points)
function calculate_discount($price, $customer_type, $items, $season) {
  if ($customer_type === 'premium') {  // +1
    $discount = 0.2;
  } elseif ($items > 10) {              // +1
    $discount = 0.15;
  } elseif ($season === 'holiday') {    // +1
    $discount = 0.1;
  } else {                              // +1
    $discount = 0.05;
  }
  return $price * (1 - $discount);
}

Maintainability Index

Formula: 171 - 5.2 * ln(HV) - 0.23 * CC - 16.2 * ln(LOC)

• HV = Halstead Volume
• CC = Cyclomatic Complexity
• LOC = Lines of Code

Scale:

• 85-100: High maintainability (green)
• 65-85: Moderate maintainability (yellow)
• 0-65: Low maintainability (red) - REFACTOR

Technical Debt Ratio

Technical Debt Ratio = (Remediation Cost / Development Cost) * 100%

Ideal: < 5%
Acceptable: 5-10%
Concerning: 10-20%
Critical: > 20%

CMS-Specific Quality Standards

Drupal

Coding Standards Violations

Common Issues:

// ❌ BAD: Wrong indentation (2 spaces, should be 2)
function my_function() {
    $variable = 'value';  // 4 spaces
}

// ✅ GOOD: Correct indentation
function my_function() {
  $variable = 'value';  // 2 spaces
}

// ❌ BAD: Missing type hints
function process_data($data) {
  return $data;
}

// ✅ GOOD: Type hints present
function process_data(array $data): array {
  return $data;
}

// ❌ BAD: CamelCase variable
$myVariable = 'value';

// ✅ GOOD: Snake_case variable
$my_variable = 'value';

// ❌ BAD: Missing documentation
function calculate_total($items) {
  return array_sum($items);
}

// ✅ GOOD: Full documentation
/**
 * Calculates the total of all items.
 *
 * @param array $items
 *   Array of numeric values to sum.
 *
 * @return int|float
 *   The sum of all items.
 */
function calculate_total(array $items) {
  return array_sum($items);
}

DrupalPractice Violations

// ❌ BAD: Direct global access
$config = \Drupal::config('my_module.settings');

// ✅ GOOD: Dependency injection
class MyService {
  protected $configFactory;

  public function __construct(ConfigFactoryInterface $config_factory) {
    $this->configFactory = $config_factory;
  }
}

// ❌ BAD: Raw database query
db_query("SELECT * FROM {users} WHERE uid = " . $uid);

// ✅ GOOD: Query builder
$query = \Drupal::database()->select('users', 'u')
  ->fields('u')
  ->condition('uid', $uid)
  ->execute();

// ❌ BAD: t() in class property
class MyClass {
  protected $title = t('Title');  // t() only available at runtime
}

// ✅ GOOD: t() in method
class MyClass {
  protected function getTitle() {
    return $this->t('Title');
  }
}

Design Patterns

// ✅ GOOD: Service pattern with DI
class MyService implements ContainerFactoryPluginInterface {
  protected $entityTypeManager;
  protected $logger;

  public function __construct(
    EntityTypeManagerInterface $entity_type_manager,
    LoggerInterface $logger
  ) {
    $this->entityTypeManager = $entity_type_manager;
    $this->logger = $logger;
  }

  public static function create(ContainerInterface $container) {
    return new static(
      $container->get('entity_type.manager'),
      $container->get('logger.factory')->get('my_module')
    );
  }
}

WordPress

Coding Standards Violations

Common Issues:

// ❌ BAD: Yoda conditions NOT used
if ( $variable === 'value' ) {  // WordPress requires Yoda

// ✅ GOOD: Yoda conditions
if ( 'value' === $variable ) {

// ❌ BAD: Wrong spacing
function my_function( $param ){  // Space before ) missing, space before {
  if( $condition ){
    do_something();
  }
}

// ✅ GOOD: Correct spacing
function my_function( $param ) {
  if ( $condition ) {
    do_something();
  }
}

// ❌ BAD: Not escaped
echo $user_input;
echo "<a href='" . $url . "'>";

// ✅ GOOD: Properly escaped
echo esc_html( $user_input );
echo '<a href="' . esc_url( $url ) . '">';

// ❌ BAD: Missing text domain
__( 'Text' );

// ✅ GOOD: Text domain specified
__( 'Text', 'my-plugin' );

// ❌ BAD: Direct database access
$wpdb->query( "SELECT * FROM {$wpdb->posts} WHERE post_author = " . $author_id );

// ✅ GOOD: Prepared statement
$wpdb->get_results( $wpdb->prepare(
    "SELECT * FROM {$wpdb->posts} WHERE post_author = %d",
    $author_id
) );

WordPress VIP Standards

// ❌ BAD: Filesystem writes
file_put_contents( 'data.json', $json );

// ✅ GOOD: Use WP filesystem API or external storage

// ❌ BAD: PHP sessions
session_start();
$_SESSION['key'] = 'value';

// ✅ GOOD: Use transients or user meta

// ❌ BAD: Uncached queries
$posts = get_posts( ['numberposts' => -1] );  // No caching

// ✅ GOOD: Cache results
$posts = wp_cache_get( 'my_posts', 'my_plugin' );
if ( false === $posts ) {
    $posts = get_posts( ['numberposts' => -1] );
    wp_cache_set( 'my_posts', $posts, 'my_plugin', HOUR_IN_SECONDS );
}

// ❌ BAD: Expensive operations in loop
foreach ( $posts as $post ) {
    $terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID, 'category' );  // N+1 queries
}

// ✅ GOOD: Batch operations
update_post_term_cache( $posts );  // Pre-load all term data
foreach ( $posts as $post ) {
    $terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID, 'category' );  // From cache
}

Technical Debt Patterns

Code Smells to Detect

1. Long Methods

// 🚩 Method > 50 lines - break into smaller methods

2. Large Classes

// 🚩 Class > 500 lines - split responsibilities

3. Long Parameter Lists

// 🚩 Function with > 5 parameters - use parameter objects
function process($a, $b, $c, $d, $e, $f, $g) {  // Too many!

4. Duplicate Code

// 🚩 Same logic in multiple places - extract to function/method

5. Dead Code

// 🚩 Unused functions, commented-out code - remove it

6. Magic Numbers

// 🚩 Unexplained constants
if ($status === 3) {  // What is 3?

// ✅ Use named constants
const STATUS_PUBLISHED = 3;
if ($status === STATUS_PUBLISHED) {

7. Deep Nesting

// 🚩 > 3 levels of nesting - refactor with guard clauses
if ($a) {
  if ($b) {
    if ($c) {
      // Too deep!

8. God Objects

// 🚩 Class that does everything - split responsibilities
