Duplicated string literals make the process of refactoring error-prone, since you must be sure to update all occurrences.
On the other hand, constants can be referenced from many places, but only need to be updated in a single place.
Noncompliant Code Example
With the default threshold of 3:
public void run() {
prepare("action1"); // Noncompliant - "action1" is duplicated 3 times
execute("action1");
release("action1");
}
@SuppressWarning("all") // Compliant - annotations are excluded
private void method1() { /* ... */ }
@SuppressWarning("all")
private void method2() { /* ... */ }
public String method3(String a) {
System.out.println("'" + a + "'"); // Compliant - literal "'" has less than 5 characters and is excluded
return ""; // Compliant - literal "" has less than 5 characters and is excluded
}
Compliant Solution
private static final String ACTION_1 = "action1"; // Compliant
public void run() {
prepare(ACTION_1); // Compliant
execute(ACTION_1);
release(ACTION_1);
}
Exceptions
To prevent generating some false-positives, literals having less than 5 characters are excluded.
Cognitive Complexity is a measure of how hard the control flow of a method is to understand. Methods with high Cognitive Complexity will be
difficult to maintain.

In the absence of enclosing curly braces, the line immediately after a conditional is the one that is conditionally executed. By both convention
and good practice, such lines are indented. In the absence of both curly braces and indentation the intent of the original programmer is entirely
unclear and perhaps not actually what is executed. Additionally, such code is highly likely to be confusing to maintainers.
Noncompliant Code Example
if (condition) // Noncompliant
doTheThing();
doTheOtherThing();
somethingElseEntirely();
foo();
Compliant Solution
if (condition)
doTheThing();
doTheOtherThing();
somethingElseEntirely();
foo();
