Conference Object Citation - WoS: 2Object-Oriented Inheritance Metrics: Cognitive Complexity Perspective(Springer-verlag Berlin, 2009) Mishra, Deepti; Mishra, AlokIdentifying high cognitive complexity modules can lead to a better quality software system and can help during maintenance also. It has been found that inheritance has an impact on cognitive complexity of a software system. In this paper, two inheritance metrics based on cognitive complexity, one at class level CCI (Class Complexity due to Inheritance) and another at program level ACI (Average Complexity of a program due to Inheritance), have been proposed for object-oriented software systems. These metrics are also compared with other well known object-oriented inheritance metrics.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 3Measuring Complexity of Object Oriented Programs(Springer-verlag Berlin, 2008) Misra, Sanjay; Akman, IbrahimIn this paper, a metric for object oriented language is formulated and validated. On the contrary of the other metrics used for object oriented programming (OOPS), the proposed metric calculates the complexity of a class at method level and hence considers the internal architecture of the classes, subclasses and member functions. The proposed metric is evaluated against Weyuker's proposed set of measurement principles through examples and validated through experimentation, case study and comparative study with similar measures. The practical usefulness of the metric is evaluated by a practical framework.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 16Modified Cognitive Complexity Measure(Springer-verlag Berlin, 2006) Misra, SanjayIn cognitive functional size measure, the functional size is proportional to weighted cognitive complexity of all internal BCS's and number of input and output. This paper proposes the modification in cognitive functional size complexity measure. The proposed complexity measure is proportional to total occurrence of operators and operands and all internal BCS's. The operators and operands are equally important in design consideration. Thus, the contribution of the operators, operands and cognitive aspects complete the definition of a complexity measure in terms of cognitive. Accordingly, a new formula is developed for calculating the modified cognitive complexity measure. An attempt has also been made to evaluate modified cognitive complexity measure in terms of nine Weyuker's properties, through examples. It has been found that seven of nine Weyuker's properties have been satisfied by the modified cognitive complexity measure and hence establishes as a well-structured one.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 3A New Complexity Metric Based on Cognitive Informatics(Springer-verlag Berlin, 2008) Misra, Sanjay; Akman, IbrahimIn 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.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 14A Suite of Cognitive Complexity Metrics(Springer-verlag Berlin, 2012) Misra, Sanjay; Koyuncu, Murat; Crasso, Marco; Mateos, Cristian; Zunino, AlejandroIn 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.
