Abstract :
Software complexity Metrics is an important basis of the software process management. However, until now, there is not a very effective approach to measure the software complexity. In the paper, we proposed a new approach to measure software complexity, i.e. Software Power(SP). Firstly, the definition derived, then, some examples given to demonstrate the effectiveness of SP. Finally, we give a conclusion.
