Deployment of integrated design for the reduction of software complexity

Software complexity is a well known paradigm within the software engineering and one which boasts a rich supply of metrics claiming to be able to define and measure the complexity of software. Within this area, different types of complexity have been identified and defined in an attempt to measure productivity, dependence, testing and maintenance effort. Software complexity has significant impact on cost and time of software development and maintenance. During the recent decades many efforts have been made to measure and control the complexity of software. This paper attempts to demonstrate the complexity which is based on IEEE Requirement Engineering document and impact in reducing the complexity of integrated design software.
