Computation of the Control Flow Complexity of FORTRAN Modules

Abstract

A Pascal program to compute McCabe's control flow complexity metric for FORTRAN modules is presented. McCabe's metric which is called the cyclomatic number gives the size of any basis set of control flow paths through a program module. McCabe's metric is a useful indicator of the level of difficulty required to test and maintain a program module.
