Abstract
The paper introduces class complexity, cohesion ratio, and weighted method send out as improved/new metrics for object-oriented software. The work of Chidamber and Kemerer (1991, 1994) is used as a comparison platform. Illustrations are provided by solving a simple graphical problem using two design approaches. They are also used to validate the model proposed. Desirability of a composite complexity model is discussed and one possible approach is given
