Cyclomatic complexity is software metric used in software developments as White box testing and structural testing. The purpose of the paper is to describe the Use and Analysis on Cyclomatic complexity in Software development with an example. The Cyclomatic complexity is computed using the flow graph of the program: the nodes of the graph correspond to one or more code statement and the edges connect two nodes. Based on the flow graph how to find Cyclomatic complexity is described here.

  • The Cyclomatic Complexity is software metric that provides quantitative measures of logical complexity of a program.
  • Cyclomatic complexity is software metric used in software developments as White box testing and structural testing.
  • Cyclomatic Complexity can prove to be very helpful in helps of developers and testers to determine independent path executions.
  • Cyclomatic Complexity used to evaluate complexity of a program. If the decision points are more, then complexity of the program is more.
