Ratio API/Internal

Measures the ratio of a class’s API methods to internal methods. This is based on a method’s category and not on its public or private status.

A low ratio (many internal methods and few API methods) may indicate that the class is simple to use but its internal processing may be complex (hard to maintain). A high ratio (many API methods and few internal methods) may indicate that the class is doing too much work, because API methods represent services that other classes can use.
