Abstract

Component Based Software System (CBSS) is widely popular in the modern era because of the reduction of development cost, time, and effort. To increase the success rate and acceptability of CBSS among the users, it is important to increase the quality of CBSS. Usability is one of the important quality factors, but challenges exist in measurement of usability. Complexity plays important role in acceptance of usable software system. So, to measure the usability, it is important to measure its complexity by using complexity metrics. Various complexity metrics have been proposed in the literature. The main objective of this research paper is to identify the complexity metrics of traditional and object-oriented software system and to provide a roadmap for the requirement of complexity metrics for CBSS. Present paper may help system designers, developers, and analysts to select the appropriate complexity metrics for CBSS on the basis of provided analytical results. Based on the selected complexity metrics, usability can be measured in easier way.
