Effort Estimation for Program Comprehension

1 This study presents an experience of deriving an econometric model for the software comprehension; this process is necessary for the renovation of existing software systems. The model uses data on the process and products. The aim of the econometric model is to minimize the risks when forecasting the budget and time needed to carry out the project. After having obtained the basic model, the c...

Speed: Precise and efficient static estimation of program computational complexity

Cyclomatic Complexity: theme and variations

Focussing on the "McCabe family" of measures for the decision/logic structure of a program, leads to an evaluation of extensions to modularization, nesting and, potentially, to object-oriented program structures. A comparison of rated, operating and essential complexities of programs suggests two new metrics: 'inessential complexity" as a measure of unstructuredness and "product complexity" as ...

Using Cyclomatic Complexity to Determine Test Coverage for SAS Programs

The Cyclomatic Complexity metric described by Watson and McCabe provides an objective measure of the complexity of a given module of program code by examining its decision structure. This article examines issues related to using the metric. These include identifying relevant SAS flow control constructs, creating flow graphs of SAS programs, and methods for deriving test cases from basis path an...
