The default section of a switch should not be empty. If there is an error to raise, throw an exception, print a lock, and emit a metric.

Non-Compliant Code Examples

class MyClass {
    public static bool filter(int target)
    {
        switch(target) {
            case 1:
                doSomething();
                break;
            default:
                break;
        }
    }
}
