Abstract

In this paper we have developed a metrics based model that will help in quantitatively estimating complexity of requirements for object oriented development methodology. Use Case point is a well-known metrics used for estimation based on use cases. Our model goes a step forward and provides a measurement methodology based on other design models like sequence and class diagrams. This metrics model is based on a formal model using Z notation and implemented using a XML based approach. Measuring complexity of a requirement in terms of design elements will help in validating estimates in the design phase and project management in the long run.
