8. Cyclomatic complexity, V (G), for a flow graph, G is defined as

(a) V (G) = E+N+2P (b) V (G) = E-N+2P

(c) V (G) = E+N-2P (d) None of these.
9. Cyclomatic complexity can be characterized as the number of elements of a basis set of
…………..

(a) control flow (b) data flow
(c) management flow (d) product flow

10. The flow graph depicts logical control flow using a diagrammatic notation
(a) True (b) False

11. Cyclomatic complexity, V (G) for a flow graph, G is also defined as V (G) = Pie-1.

(a) True (b) False
12. PSI (percentage of shared ideas), a knowledge-based semantic coupling metric.

(a) True (b) False

13. Class- and function-level concept and keyword information to calculate metrics.
(a) True (b) False

14. Software metrics are based on code syntax, quantifying the complexity or cohesion of an
Implementation by performing calculations based on counting code structures.
(a) True (b) False

15. Balance concept is associated with the getBalance function, since its name matched the
balance (noun) keyword, which met the threshold for the Balance concept.
(a) True (b) False

9.4 Summary

• Network metrics for design focus on the structure chart (mostly the call graph component
of the structure chart) and define some metrics of how “good” the structure or network
is in an effort to quantify the complexity of the call graph.
