Abstract
Basic concepts of an axiomatic approach to measuremesnt theory are applied to software complexity measurement. In order to make valid statements regarding such measurements, one has to know whether the appropriate scale is ordinal, interval or ratio. Criteria are derived for the metric of McCabe on the basis of which one can determine which type of scale it represents. It is shown that the proposed method can be applied to other software complexity measures as well.
