The Application In Project For Code Complexity Metric And Quality Control

This paper concerns the source code complexity metric and quality controlling according with the project which developed by our institute and Hitachi company. The Source code complexity metric and quality controlling[2] is a important part of software quality guarantee system. It bases on source code and runs through the phase of software developing, code examination, unit testing, integration testing, system testing and software maintenance.This paper selects the ISO9126【3】Model[8] as the foundation of quality estimate model. For quality estimate model, it describes the quality factors(maintainability, reusability etc) and guide lines(mensurability, readability etc) that imported from Halstead, Mccabe, Verilog metric methodologys.In the process of application, the estimated software will be compared with the given quality model. It will also be displayed by graphics. Thus, quality management engineer and testing engineer can get such information:1. Complexity Information and Quality Report for System, Module and Function.2. The status of project progress.3. The exact evaluation for workload.4. The report for key module and function.5. The predication for software reliability and bug mount.Software quality guarantee is a huge system. Dues to the limit of my energy, the main work is focused on the source code complexity metric and quality controlling, and more work was expected to be done in the future.
