The paper introduces Class Complexity, Cohesion Ratio and Weighted Method Send out as improved/new metrics for Object-Oriented Software. Chidamber & Kemerer is used as a comparison platform. Illustrations are provided by solving a simple graphical problem using two design approaches. They are also used to validate the model proposed. Desirability of a composite complexity model is discussed and one possible approach is given.
