Abstract :
A set of complexity metrics for object-oriented systems based on information flow models is presented. These metrics may be used to measure methods, classes, class hierarchies, and programs in an object-oriented system. The attributes to be measured are the interactive couplings among entities and the internal complexity of each individual entity. The proposed set of metrics is examined using Weyuker´s meta-metrics
