A Structural Complexity Metric for Software Components

At present, the number of components increases largely, and component-based software development (CBSD) is becoming a new effective software development paradigm, how to measure their reliability, maintainability and complexity attracts more and more attentions. This paper presents a metric to assess the structural complexity of components. Moreover it proves that the metric satisfies some good properties.
