Software effort metrics: how to join them
Peter Kokol · ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes · 1988
There are several software complexity metrics in use today. Halstead's software science, McCabe cyclomatic number and lines of code (LOC) are most popular of them. A great weakness of these metrics is that they measure different complexities for a given program. Thus, it will be very clever to join them. We have developed a model which combines above three metrics and present it in this paper.
