Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the critical issue of software complexity, a topic that has long vexed software engineers and managers. The author, drawing on the work of McCabe and other pioneers, examines a specific measure known as cyclomatic complexity, which attempts to quantify the intricate pathways within a program's code. The book explores both theoretical critiques of this metric, particularly those proposed by Myers and Hansen, and empirical concerns regarding its high correlation with simple code size measures. Through an in-depth analysis of real-world software development and maintenance projects, the author tests these criticisms and presents compelling evidence about the practical implications of these different complexity measures. The book goes beyond a simple critique, offering a solution in the form of a transformed metric known as "complexity density." This ratio, calculated by dividing cyclomatic complexity by the size of the system, emerges as a powerful tool for predicting software maintenance productivity, even on small projects. The author's research suggests that complexity density can be used as a valuable indicator of how difficult a program is to maintain, potentially impacting crucial decisions about resource allocation and code restructuring. The book's insights offer software engineers and managers a valuable approach to understanding and managing the complexities inherent in software development and maintenance, ultimately contributing to improved software quality and reduced costs.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This fascinating book examines the relationship between software complexity and developer experience. It analyzes the impact of software complexity on productivity and maintenance, revealing that more complex systems require more effort, especially in the maintenance phase of the software development lifecycle. Additionally, it explores how developer experience influences productivity, finding a positive correlation between experience and productivity in terms of lines of code produced per work-hour, though it also cautions that this advantage decreases with rising experience. The author suggests strategies for managing software complexity, including the adoption of experience-based hiring for developers, and the implementation of quality control standards for code complexity. Offering a unique perspective on software development, this book provides valuable insights that can help organizations enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of their software development processes. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
