## Why is this an issue?

The `switch` statement should be used only to clearly define some new branches in the control flow. As soon as a `case` clause contains too many statements this highly decreases the readability of the overall control flow statement. In such case, the content of the `case` clause should be extracted into a dedicated method.

### Noncompliant code example

With a threshold of 5:

    switch ($var) {
      case 0:  // 6 lines till next case
        methodCall1();
        methodCall2();
        methodCall3();
        methodCall4();
        break;
      default:
        break;
    }

### Compliant solution

    switch ($var) {
      case 0:
        doSomething();
        break;
      default:
        break;
    }

    function doSomething(){
      methodCall1("");
      methodCall2("");
      methodCall3("");
      methodCall4("");
    }
