| Abstract | (in Japanese) | (See Japanese page) |
| (in English) | Cyclomatic complexity is used as a representative complexity metric in software maintenance. However, it does not always represent cognitive complexity. It is because cyclomatic complexity does not consider the contents of the branch but only count the number of paths in the source code. For example, repeated if-statements produce a high cyclomatic complexity value. Such structures are repetitions of simple instructions, which are not complicated and do not have a negative impact on software maintenance. In this paper, we propose a method to identify cognitive complexity by simplifying such repeated structures. We conducted a case study with open source software systems to reveal the usefulness of the proposed method, and then we confirmed that the metrics values with the proposed method had stronger correlation with human consideration. | |
