The relationship of Number of Children metric with cyclomatic complexity is a significant matter. Here in this paper the relationship of NOC (Number of Children) and MVG (McCabe's Cyclomatic Complexity) have been explained using three real projects developed in JAVA language. The authors have also empirically computed NOC and MVG metrics of these projects and found the correlation between these two. It is found that on increasing NOC, MVG also increases in polynomial form which is showing the directly proportional relationship. This paper is providing an optimal value of NOC up to that software will be quality software. July - September 2015 Copyright © 2015 i-manager publications.
