Abstract

Software Code Restructuring is one of pivotal application of software metrics. Traditionally metrics based approaches have failed to develop efficient mechanism for insuring code quality and code comprehension. Software metrics with the standard technical implication is key combination towards reverse engineering of program code. In this work we have suggested an approach which explores effective code comprehension by combining Software metrics and technique called Program Slicing. Program slicing is static program analysis process for code automation which can develop efficient measures for coupling, cohesion, complexity. Such novel design of software metrics with analytical approach can insure reliable development of software system.
