These complexity indicators identify error-prone, unmaintainable software, which if identified early can be rewritten and/or thoroughly tested. However, the integration of metric use into commercial situations faces practical resistance from budget and deadline restrictions. This paper presents an experiment that introduces a nondisruptive method for integrating metrics into a large-scale commercial software development environment.application/pdfenIn CopyrightTechnical reportTR-89-01http://eprints.cs.vt.edu/archive/00000138/01/TR-89-01.pdf
