Abstract

The paper shows a proposition of metrics for measuring the complexity of the business sector and business software. The metrics is based on a subjective estimation of complexity of the elements from the structure of business sector or business software, and reaching conclusions on the final complexity through the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Defined in this manner, the metrics represents a unique metrics for measuring the complexity of elements of business sector and business software, which enables their comparison. Due to this, the paper also shows possible situations between the measured complexities. The paper also presents a short overview of existing metrics for measuring the complexity of business sectors and business software.
