External Design Metric De
De = e1 (inflows * outflows) + e2 (fan-in * fan-out)
where,
- inflows
- are the number of data entities passed to the module from superordinate
of subordinate modules.
-
outflows
-
are the number of data entities passed from the module to superordinate
or subordinate modules.
