Suggests extracting fragments of code to a separate method to make code more clear. This inspection has a number of heuristics to select good candidates for extraction, including the following ones.

  • The extracted fragment has no non-local control flow

  • The extracted fragment has exactly one output variable

  • There are no similar uses of output variable inside the extracted fragment and outside it

  • The extracted fragment has only few input parameters (no more than three by default; configured with the inspection option)

  • The extracted fragment is not smaller than the configured length (500 characters by default) but no bigger than 60% of the containing method body
