Abstract

In this paper, we combine the complex network theory and the traditional software structure metrology to propose a new model for the study of the structural characteristics of the software---- Multi-dimensional measurement model of the software structure properties. The multi-dimensional measurement model of the software structure properties is divided into three parts. Each part has their own properties. In this model, the system is abstracted into a network model in the first step. Then we design the metric parameters considering both the complex network theory and the Object-Oriented software research and also give the definition and calculation method of these metric parameters. And on this basis we use the advantages of eclipse and complex network simulation tool pajek to calculate the metrics parameters designed before. Then give explanation to the experimental results which can demonstrate the reliability of the new model, which has also made a solid foundation for the following study of the software structure properties.
