摘要: In this paper we report on an empirical study into the use of software metrics as a way estimating difficulty code comprehension tasks. Our results indicate that can provide useful information about difficulties inherent in tracing first year programming assessment. We conclude may be tool to assist design and selection questions when setting examination.
