METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MEASURING THE COMPLEXITY OF A COMPUTER PROGRAM

摘要

The invention relates to a computer-implemented method for measuring the complexity of a computer program under evaluation (22), the method having the steps: providing input data (21); generating output data (23), using the computer program under evaluation (22), by processing the input data (21); training at least one machine learning model (27, 28), using a training set (24) based on a first subset of the input data (21) and based on the output data (23) corresponding to the first subset of the input data (21) and being generated using the computer program under evaluation (22); generating emulated results, using the at least one trained machine learning model (27, 28), by processing at least one further subset of the input data (21); and computing a complexity metric (35) indicating the complexity of the computer program under evaluation (22), based on the emulated results and based on the output data (23) corresponding to the at least one further subset of the input data (21) and being generated using the computer program under evaluation (22).
