# Analizo::Metric::StructuralComplexity(3pm)

Structural Complexity (SC) metric

## NAME

Analizo::Metric::StructuralComplexity - Structural Complexity (SC) metric

## DESCRIPTION

The metric calculation is based on the following article and calculates the structural complexity.

Article: *Monitoring of source code metrics in open source projects* by Paulo Roberto Miranda Meirelles.

See the adaptation of the paragraph about Structural Complexity in the article:

When combined with a metric, the coupling and cohesion product is positively correlated to the maintenance effort. Therefore, we use in this PhD research the coupling product (CBO) and cohesion (LCOM4) as our structural complexity metric (Darcy et al., 2005).
