Assessing and Interpreting Object-Oriented Software Complexity with Structured and Independent Metrics

Object-oriented software complexity is difficult to assess due to its manifold influences from cognition science or algorithmic complexity theory. A practical process for a structured complexity assessment is presented in this paper. It starts with considerations for measurement and data preparation. Using mathematical transformation techniques, independent complexity metrics are gained. With t...
