Method evidence record
Halstead Complexity
Halstead Complexity Metrics are a set of static code analysis measures developed by Maurice Halstead in 1977 that quantify software quality using operator and operand counts. Metrics like program volume, difficulty, and effort estimate code complexity, maintainability, and defect likelihood from source code structure alone.
