Abstract

Computer software and the software development process belong to the class of complex systems. Continuous monitoring and analysis of development process is crucial to minimize risk. For that reason many metrics and monitoring tools have been developed. Most of metrics are programming language dependent. In this present paper we introduce a tool for analyzing program complexity using chaos theory. It enables assessment of the state of the software development process based on previous software revisions. Analysis is programming language independent and also enables analysis of source and object code.
