Study of Various Software Metrics for Insertion Sort

Algorithm is one of the most important components of programming and software engineering. From the past years we are trying to analyze the different type of algorithms. Another important term in the field of software engineering that is used to analyze the algorithm is Software metrics. Software metrics have become an integral part of software development and are used during every phase of the software development life cycle. It is one of the vital tools that can be used to find significant estimates for software products and directs us in taking managerial and technical decisions. Research in the area of software metrics tends to focus predominantly on static metrics that are obtained by static analysis of the software artifact. In this study I will try to analyze the working of one of the important sorting algorithm called insertion sorting. In this study I will implement the insertion sort algorithm in C language and then try to find different software metrics for the same.
