摘要：Measuring and controlling the software complexity is an important aspect during each software development paradigm. Because the complexity of software affects many other attributes like testability and maintainability etc. So the researchers proposed many software complexity metrics and most of the metrics are based on the source code of the software . But nowadays Component Based Software Development (CBSD) is becoming the trend for software development. This approach is based on constructing the software system by integrating the prefabricated software components. The quality of resulting system depends upon the complexity of the composed components. So evaluation of component complexity is a critical activity in the component selection process for CBSD. In this paper the various complexity metrics relevant for measuring the component complexity have been discussed with their limitations and a solution has been proposed.
