Abstract
An apparatus of one embodiment analyzes application complexity based on complexity factors. The apparatus includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores raw values associated with a software application, each raw value associated with a respective complexity factor, which is associated with a respective scoring metric. The memory also stores scoring metrics, which indicate how preliminary scores are calculated. The memory also stores preliminary scores associated with the software application. The processor determines the raw values by determining a respective raw complexity value for each of the complexity factors. The processor also calculates the preliminary scores by calculating a respective preliminary score for each of the complexity factors. The respective preliminary score for each complexity factor is calculated by applying the respective scoring metric to the respective raw value. The processor also calculates a total score based at least on the plurality of preliminary scores.
