Estimation of Software Complexity within an Optimized Time Period Using a Multi Agent System

This paper presents estimation of software complexity at an optimized time in software development process. Software complexity is the main factor that greatly affects on software delivery time, expenditure within the budget allotted and securing the satisfaction of the users. These are the elements that guarantee the success of the software. Many attempts have been made for measurements of complexity at the phase of code design but recognition of complexity and controlling it at these phases are rather late for measurement of complexity. By measuring the factors that cause complexity at the early stages of software development life cycle we can save and prevent many problems such as errors and defects that may appear in the later phases of software production. In this paper we are proposing that the optimized time for measuring complexity is at the phase of requirements and increase the speed of measurement using a multi agent system. The objective of this work is to reduce the cost of software production, resources and maintenance.
