1. Introduction
In the software industry requirement engineering is one of the most important parts of the software
engineering process, which gives us the proper scenarios of what the customers want, analyzing their
needs and checking the feasibility of what they need, negotiating a reasonable solution etc. In software
industries, a software project begins when a business need is identified. So, the first step is to
understand the customer's needs. Figure out a rough feasibility analysis, not only of the customer’s
need but also with the people who are apparently involved with the introducing system. In this phase
after interacting with our client, we get some requirements for an inventory management solution. This
paper will be more easeful after communicating with our client with their more specific requirements.
At the same time, in this paper we will focus on the Inventory management module. Again, this paper
is a partial submission; more detail will be included as per communicating with the entire stakeholders.

Aim:
Perform Measurement of complexity with Halstead Matrix.

Theory:
Halstead’s theory is an analytical estimation technique to measure the size, development effort,
and development cost of software products. Halstead’s used a few primitive program parameters
to develop the expressions for overall program length, potential minimum volume, actual volume,
effort & development time.
Therefore,
Halstead Program Length: N1+N2=53+38=91
Total number of unique operator and operand (n) = n1+n2 = 14+10 = 24
Program Difficulty: (n1/2)*(N2/n2) = (14/2)*(38/10) = 26.6
Halstead Volume: V = N*log2(n) = 91*log2(24) = 417.635
Programming Effort: Difficulty* volume = 26.6*417.635 = 11109.091
