Cognitive Complexity Applied to Software Development: An Automated Procedure to Reduce the Comprehension Effort

The cognitive complexity of a software application determines the amount human effort required to comprehend its internal logic, which results in subjective measurement. quantification process as metric is problematic since factors representing computation do not represent exact cognition. Therefore, determination requires expansion beyond quantification. comprehension related with associated each phase development process. Correct requirements identification and accurate logical diagram generation prior code implementation can lead proper applications. Moreover, essential for maintenance. Defect identification, correction handling quality issues cannot be maintained without good comprehension. effectively applied demonstrate understandability inside respective phases analysis, design, defect tracking, optimization. This study involved automation above-mentioned reduce manual load complexity. It was found that proposed system could enhance average accuracy analysis class by 14.44% 9.89% incrementation through tracking compared procedures.
