Best practices: Many small functions/methods, or bigger functions with logical process components inline? [closed]

Answer 1

The size of the method is directly linked to its cyclomatic complexity.

The main advantages to keep the size of the method small (which means dividing a big method into several small methods) are:

• better unit testing (due to low cyclomatic complexity)
• better debugging due to a more explicit stack trace (instead of one error within one giant method)
