## 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 the default threshold of 5:

    switch (myVariable) {
      case 0: // Noncompliant: 6 lines till next case
        methodCall1("");
        methodCall2("");
        methodCall3("");
        methodCall4("");
        break;
      case 1:
      ...
    }

### Compliant solution

    switch (myVariable) {
      case 0:
        doSomething()
        break;
      case 1:
      ...
    }
    ...
    private void doSomething(){
        methodCall1("");
        methodCall2("");
        methodCall3("");
        methodCall4("");
    }
