Research on metrics for software products complexity based on UML-Java class
Ruixia Zhang · Journal of Anhui University · 2006
How to improve software quality is the important directions in software engineering research field.The complexity has a close relationship with the developing cost,time spending and the number of detects which a program may exist.OOA and OOD have been widely used,so the requirement of measuring software complexity written in object-oriented language is emerging.UML class diagrams describe the static view of a system in terms of classes and relationships among the classes.In order to objectively assess UML class diagrams,this paper presents a kind of metrics based on UML class diagram that is adapted to Java to assess the complexity of UML class diagrams in various aspects,and verifies them with a kind of evaluation rules suggested by Weyuker.
