ABSTRACT
This paper describes an application of Maurice Halstead's software theory to a real time switching system. The Halstead metrics and the software tool developed for computing them are discussed. Analysis of the metric data indicates that the level of the switching language was not constant across algorithma and that software error data was not a linear function of volume.

Comparing software metrics tools
ISSTA '08: Proceedings of the 2008 international symposium on Software testing and analysisThis paper shows that existing software metric tools interpret and implement the definitions of object-oriented software metrics differently. This delivers tool-dependent metrics results and has even implications on the results of analyses based on ...

An Empirical Study of Software Metrics
Software metrics are computed for the purpose of evaluating certain characteristics of the software developed. A Fortran static source code analyzer, FORTRANAL, was developed to study 31 metrics, including a new hybrid metric introduced in this paper, ...
