Point of Contact Robert M. Chapman
Robert.M.Chapman@ivv.nasa.gov
Dates October 2001 - September 2002
Problem Examine the relationship of cyclomatic complexity, essential complexity, and error occurrence.
Objective The data will show that essential complexity is a better predictor of error occurrence than cyclomatic complexity. The data and conclusions will be presented in a formal paper.
