Abstract

The article suggests a hypothesis that a correlation between Source Code Metrics and Structure Analysis Metrics exists. For this purpose a definition of Structure Analysis Metrics which results are comparable with results of Source Code Metrics is given. Some presented examples made by different people involved into experiment (students) verify the hypothesis.
