There is an interesting article article by The ALARCOS Research Group, University of Castilla-La Mancha, Spain here: might give some insight. I found helpful.

I don't know about this specific metric but I used the CppDepend software in another company and it gave us tens of different metrics (cyclomatic complexity, circular dependancies, etc.).  You might try a demo version and see if it can give you the specific metric you need or ask them for a more or less equivalent one.  There is also a possibility of scripting your own metric with this tool so that might be another possibility.

Sorry! I don't know

Thanks Todd... I ve gone throu the paper already. Really it gives a lot of info. The tool QMOOD++ stated by Bansiya in that paper is not available. I need either that tool or a similar tool to measure the metrics stated by Bansiya. Anyway of getting that?

Thanks bruno..let me try it

You can use ptidej (www.ptidej.net), and if you are only interested in the quality attributes functions, try our tool at : https://github.com/moar82/RefGen and https://github.com/moar82/RefGen/wiki/Simulation-Mode-of-RefGen
