Abstract
Software engineers in general, and the Department of Defense in particular, are looking for good software metrics to aid in software development. Maurice Halstead developed the theory of Software Science which includes the relation between program complexity and program length. Halstead's length metric deals with the properties of an algorithm that can be measured, either directly or indirectly, statically or dynamically, and with the relationships among these properties. A system has been developed which implements Halstead's length metric. This system, which is written in Ada, takes Ada programs as input, and outputs the length metric complexity analysis. Finally, recommendations for future work in this area are made.
