Love this thread! Question: what's the external measure that Harry Potter is readable? It seems to me like the way to test code comprehensibility is simply to give it to new people and see how quickly they can comprehend it
The challenge is measuring comprehension. This ranges from standard assessment (multiple choice) to memory tests (cloze tests, free recall). Your results are as believable as your test design.
Neither of those tests measure what matters. The test needs to measure how quickly I can make changes
That seems like an overstatement. I can think of plenty of languages, APIs, libraries I've read to check my understanding and find bugs, not to change their source code. However, I do agree that the ability to make a change is a useful test of comprehension.
