Abstract :
The goal of inventing new software metric for SQA is to analyze the brilliance of the software. Certifying the proposed metric as valid should also be considered as equal to the invention since it describes how good the proposed metric is, how it could be practically implemented, and how useful is it for the technical fraternity and so on. This work is divided into a three-step framework, where in the first step the MALCOM metric is analytically evaluated against a formal list of Weyuker´s properties and in the second step we compare MALCOM with its base metric LCOM. The metric complexity is also applied to ANOVA test to analyze the complexity variance in the third step. The results have proven that the metric is valid and satisfies all the necessary conditions of the framework.
