Software AgilityCode Readability
Avoid too many classes in the same file
This code insight counts one occurrence each time a source file is found with multiple class definitions. Developers can spend time looking for a class in a file if multiple classes are there. Converserly, it is straightforward when the file contains only the searched class.
CAST recommendations
Ideally, for readability purpose, one source file contains one class.
