CCMT: A Code Complexity Measuring Tool

As the complexity of software systems continues to grow, effectively managing this intricacy becomes paramount. In response, this study introduces the Code Complexity Measuring Tool (CCMT), a comprehensive solution designed to address the growing challenges in assessing code complexity. CCMT redefines complexity measurement by incorporating nine fundamental factors: size, type of control structures, nesting level of control structures, inheritance level of statements, try-catch blocks, recursion, array declarations, compound conditional statements, and input–output statements. This sophisticated instrument, tailored to these factors, enables precise complexity estimation by strategically assigning distinct weightings, yielding a holistic code complexity evaluation. Its adaptability and flexibility make it not just a tool for the present but a catalyst for the future. CCMT has the potential to integrate seamlessly into cutting-edge domains like AI-driven software development, ensuring its continued relevance and significance in the ever-changing landscape of software engineering.
