%0 Journal Article %T A Methodology for Development of Software Composite-Metrics for Program Control-Flow Structure %A Aftab %A Ahmad %J 计算机科学技术学报 %D 1992 %I %X is paper reports on a pioneer effort for the establishment of a software compostie-metric with key capability of distinguishing among different structrues.As a part of this effort most of the previously proposed program control-flow complexity metrics are evaluated.It is obseved that most of these metrics are inhrently limited in distinguishing capability.However,the concept of composite metrics in potentially useful for the development of a practical metrics.This paper presents a methology for the development of a practical composite metric using statistical techniques.The proposed metric differs from all previous metrics in 2 ways:(1)It is based on an overall structural analysis of a given program in deeper and broader context.It captures various structural measurements taken from all existing structural levels;(2)It unifies a set of 19 important structural metrics.The compositing model of these metrics in based on statistical techniques rather than on an arbitrary method.Experinces with the proposd metric clearly indicate that it distinguishes different structures better than the previous metrics. %K 软件 %K 矩阵 %K 程序控制 %U http://www.alljournals.cn/get_abstract_url.aspx?pcid=5B3AB970F71A803DEACDC0559115BFCF0A068CD97DD29835&cid=8240383F08CE46C8B05036380D75B607&jid=F57FEF5FAEE544283F43708D560ABF1B&aid=B68AE62DB7B81D3D1A12E3963DB09A84&yid=F53A2717BDB04D52&vid=DF92D298D3FF1E6E&iid=38B194292C032A66&sid=974CBB04624305A1&eid=AD16A18DBD734D13&journal_id=1000-9000&journal_name=计算机科学技术学报&referenced_num=0&reference_num=1
