Measuring the Psychological Complexity of Software Maintenance Tasks with the Halstead and McCabe Metrics

Three software complexity measures (Halstead's E, McCabe's u(G), and the length as measured by number of statements) were compared to programmer performance on two software maintenance tasks. In an experiment on understanding, length and u(G) correlated with the percent of statements corre...
