Abstract

The application of software complexity metrics within the object-oriented paradigm is examined. Several factors affecting the complexity of an object are identified and discussed. Halstead's Software Science metrics and McCabe's Cyclomatic Complexity metric are extended to an object. A limit for the cyclomatic complexity of an object is suggested.
