3.6.3 Dynamic Complexity Metrics
Determining the complexity of a program is important to analyze its testability and main-
tainability. The complexity of the program may depend on the execution environment.
Munson and Khoshgoftar (1993) proposed dynamic complexity metric.
3.7 System Evolution and Evolutionary Metrics
Software evolution aims at incorporating and revalidating the probable signicant changes
to the system without being able to predict a priori how user requirements will evolve. The
current system release or version can never be said to be complete and continues to evolve.
