a measure of a program's control-flow complexity equal to the number of independent paths through its flow graph.

In software engineering, cyclomatic complexity refers to a measure of a program's control-flow complexity equal to the number of independent paths through its flow graph. This meaning comes from McCabe (1976) in IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering.[1]
