Customization of Black Box Complexity Metric for Component Based Softwares

Abstract

This thesis analyzes and interprets the impact of different end users on component based software. This thesis also analyzes the impact of hardware capabilities on component based software. A significant reduction in complexity is found over the earlier methods. I propose CCCM(BBCBS) Customization of complexity calculation method for Black Box Component Based Software. In this method cumulative complexity of the software is determined. The thesis successfully demonstrates and reduced the complexity metric of component based software by eliminating complexities of unused or rarely used components. This reduce the complexity metric of software component significantly and computes more realistic complexity results as compared to earlier methods which includes all the components as participating for complexity calculations .
