Complexity},
year = {2020},
abstract = {Software code complexity is a well-studied property
to determine software component health. However, the
existing code complexity metrics do not directly take
into account the fault-proneness aspect of the code.
We propose a metric called mutant density where we
use mutation as a method to introduce artificial
faults in code, and count the number of possible
mutations per line. We show how this metric can be
used to perform helpful analysis of real-life
software projects.},
