Real-time complexity metrics for Smalltalk methods |

This paper presents the rationale for ubiquitous and immediate
metric feedback on the com- plexity of Smalltalk methods whenever
they are viewed or changed. It also presents seven metrics for
Smalltalk methods that can be quickly and easily determined from the
code and are suitable for real-time feedback. For each of these
metrics, there is a description, an explanation of how it is determined
and why it is related to complexity, and suggestions for how to improve
code that receives a poor rating for the metric.
