TLDR
Several properties of the graph-theoretic complexity are proved which show, for example, that complexity is independent of physical size and complexity depends only on the decision structure of a program.Abstract:
This paper describes a graph-theoretic complexity measure and illustrates how it can be used to manage and control program complexity. The paper first explains how the graph-theory concepts apply and gives an intuitive explanation of the graph concepts in programming terms. The control graphs of several actual Fortran programs are then presented to illustrate the correlation between intuitive complexity and the graph-theoretic complexity. Several properties of the graph-theoretic complexity are then proved which show, for example, that complexity is independent of physical size (adding or subtracting functional statements leaves complexity unchanged) and complexity depends only on the decision structure of a program.read more

An agenda for research in the managerial evaluation of computer-aided software engineering (CASE) tool impacts
TL;DR: It is suggested that the complete lack of validated research demonstrating productivity benefits of computer-aided software engineering (CASE) tools is due to a number of inherent difficulties in the CASE evaluation process.

Complexity In Enterprise Architectures - Conceptualization And Introduction Of A Measure From A System Theoretic Perspective
TL;DR: In this article, the authors define complexity as the number and the heterogeneity of the components and relations of an enterprise architecture and propose a measure to quantify complexity in enterprise architectures based on entropy.

A study of the relation of mobile device attributes with the user-perceived quality of Android apps
TL;DR: The relation of both device attributes and app attributes with the user-perceived quality of Android apps from the Google Play Store is studied and it is found that the code size has the strongest relationship with the users’ user-Perceived quality.

Analysis of structured programs
TL;DR: It is shown that an arbitrary program P is reducible to a D-chart if and only if P does not contain a loop with two distinct exits.

A genealogy of control structures
TL;DR: It is argued further that there is insufficient evidence to warrant more than if-then-else, while-do, and their variants and the importance of one-in, one-out control structures as operational abstractions.
