	  abstract     = {Polymorphism is one of the main pillars of objectoriented
paradigm. It induces hidden forms of class dependencies
which may impact software quality, resulting in higher cost factor for
comprehending, debugging, testing, and maintaining the software. In
this paper, a new cognitive complexity metric called Cognitive
Weighted Polymorphism Factor (CWPF) is proposed. Apart from the
software structural complexity, it includes the cognitive complexity
on the basis of type. The cognitive weights are calibrated based on 27
empirical studies with 120 persons. A case study and experimentation
of the new software metric shows positive results. Further, a
comparative study is made and the correlation test has proved that
CWPF complexity metric is a better, more comprehensive, and more
realistic indicator of the software complexity than Abreu’s
Polymorphism Factor (PF) complexity metric.},
