  • Abstract
    There is no software metrics based on object-oriented programming languages (OOPLs) developed to help object-oriented software development. A graph-theoretical complexity metric to measure object-oriented software complexity is described. It shows that inheritance has a close relation with the object-oriented software complexity, and reveals that misuse of repeated (multiple) inheritance will increase software complexity and be prone to implicit software errors. An algorithm to support this software metric is presented. Its time complexity is O(n3)
