The establishment and application of a metric for graphical design language (abstract)
John W. Olson, Herbert Eugene Longenecker · 1990
The concept of a graphical design language as a tool for implementing problem solving and algorithm design independent of any specific code language is extremely attractive with reference to initial instruction in algorithm design. The verification of the methodology requires an acceptable reliable metric to validate that the graphical design language approach does improve the ability of problem solvers. Current software engineering metrics have primarily concentrated on attempting to predict development overhead or to evaluate the final software product.
