Variable Metric for Software Complexity
Gong Yun-zha · 2004
Different from existing methods of software complexity measure such as Halstead's Software Science, McCabe's Cyclomatic Complexity, and Chidamber and Kemerer's definition of six metrics, this paper provides a new method to evaluate software complexity by variable metric, which measures the number of variables, the distance between two variables and the aggregation of variables. This method can catch the essence of the software from the very basic place, the variables, and it can be applied to practical software complexity measure effectively.
