Acomputing system for determining the complexity of a computer program; said system
comprising of a micro processor based central processing unit (4), a hard disk device (5) and
random access memory (6) wherein said memory incorporates
means for inspecting the program to identify occurrences therein of predetermined
program items that are indicative of breaks in the ongoing forward flow of the program;
means for assigning and recording a pre–determined numeric value to each said items;
means for summing the assigned numeric values to define a complexity index indicative
of the complexity of the program.
