Abstract

Software Complexity Metrics Tool (SCMT) is a prototype, menu-driven program that assists in the collection, analysis, and display of software complexity and program error data. For example, using SCMT a user can investigate relationships between software complexity metrics and the number of errors in a program or can begin to develop predictive models for identifying error-prone modules.SCMT is written in C and runs under UNIX™. Although designed specifically for C software, its concepts and techniques apply to software in any programming language.
