Abstract

In this paper we present a new object-oriented complexity metric at the runtime boundary, based on decision points in code. We first propose, compute and validate the metric on an open source software package, compare it with expert data and then use it to compute the runtime complexity of the software that is running three Whitebox robots using the JADE framework. We compare the results and derive conclusions.
