Complexity Filtering - Focus on Easy Wins

What This Does

Analyzes files BEFORE attempting tests. Skips files that are too complex.

Three Modes

max_complexity="SIMPLE"     # Only trivial functions (nightly mode)
max_complexity="MODERATE"   # Balanced (default)
max_complexity="COMPLEX"    # Try everything (aggressive)

How It Works

Uses test_target_analyzer.py to check each function: - SIMPLE: No branches, no external deps - MODERATE: Some if/else, basic logic - COMPLEX: Many branches, nested loops, external deps

If file has ANY targets matching your threshold, it attempts generation.

Integration

Copy these files: 

cp complexity_filter.py src/features/self_healing/
cp test_generator_v2.py src/features/self_healing/      # Updated
cp single_file_remediation_v2.py src/features/self_healing/  # Updated
cp coverage_remediation_service_v2.py src/features/self_healing/  # Updated

Usage

CLI (Future)

# Only simple files
core-admin coverage remediate --complexity simple

# Include moderate complexity
core-admin coverage remediate --complexity moderate

Code

service = EnhancedSingleFileRemediationService(
    cognitive, auditor, file_path,
    max_complexity="SIMPLE"  # ← Set threshold
)

Example Output

Starting enhanced test generation for complex_file.py
Complexity check: Only 3 COMPLEX targets found
Skipping complex_file.py: Too complex for current threshold
Status: skipped

Starting enhanced test generation for simple_file.py
Complexity check passed: Has 5 SIMPLE, 2 MODERATE targets
Generating tests...
Status: success (14/20 tests passing)

Nightly Mode Strategy

# Process 100 files, skip hard ones
for file in low_coverage_files:
    result = generate_tests(file, max_complexity="SIMPLE")

    if result.status == "skipped":
        print(f"⏭️  {file}: Too hard")
    elif result.status == "success":
        print(f"✅ {file}: +{coverage_delta}%")

Recommendations

  • Nightly batch: Use SIMPLE - fast, high success rate
  • Manual testing: Use MODERATE - balanced
  • Comprehensive: Use COMPLEX - try everything

Configuration

Default is MODERATE. Change in: - single_file_remediation_v2.py line 48 - Or pass as parameter
