Methods, such as McCabe's Cyclomatic Complexity, have proven that complexity is a reliable predictor of defects. Although several methods exist to measure current system complexity, by using the Weighted Stability Index (WSI) Metric Model the potential impact of design changes can be weighted and measured. This provides a method to judge, and plan, for the potential stability impact from system changes.
