A New Complexity Metric Based on Cognitive Informatics
(Springer-verlag Berlin, 2008) Misra, Sanjay; Akman, Ibrahim
In this paper, a new complexity metric based on cognitive informatics is proposed for object oriented(OO) code. This is the single metric, which covers cognitive complexity of the OO system, method complexity and complexity due to inheritance together. The proposed metric was evaluated against Weyuker set of measurement principles. It was found that seven Weyuker properties are satisfied by this measure.

A Suite of Cognitive Complexity Metrics
(Springer-verlag Berlin, 2012) Misra, Sanjay; Koyuncu, Murat; Crasso, Marco; Mateos, Cristian; Zunino, Alejandro
In this paper, we propose a suite of cognitive metrics for evaluating complexity of object-oriented (OO) codes. The proposed metric suite evaluates several important features of OO languages. Specifically, the proposed metrics are to measure method complexity, message complexity (coupling), attributes complexity and class complexity. We propose also a code complexity by considering the complexity due to inheritance for the whole system. All these proposed metrics (except attribute complexity) use the cognitive aspect of the code in terms of cognitive weight. All the metrics have critically examined through theoretical and empirical validation processes.
