Bob, There is a series of metrics known as the Halstead Complexity Measures. While there seems to be significantly differing opinions as to how valid these are, you might want to check them out.

Can anyone tell me or does anyone know where I might find a documented "industry standard" amount of time it takes to analyze a line of code? I suspect something has been published on this somewhere, but I can't seem to locate anything. I'm sure the amount of time varies depending on the type of code (ALC, COBOL, EZtrieve, et al) but any direction would be greatly appreciated. Bob Robert B.
