Abstract

Change in any software application seems to be very simple when someone demands it, but the complexity of the task appears during implementation phase. Change implementation is acceptable when it includes the requested functionality as well as improves and preserves the quality of software. Complexity is an important issue for software development as it affects the cost, effort and quality of the product. Change complexity could be helpful in analyzing the impact of change. This paper focuses on measuring the software complexity that analyzes the quality of software design. To measure the complexity, UML class diagram is considered. Additionally, the goal of this paper is to identify the best possible design among various possible solutions to implement requested change in the existing system that does not adversely affects the software design of the existing software. Here, the change type considered is only new requests made by user or client.
