Hi,

Take a look at SCARE (www.isecom.org/scare) which is for measuring the 
security complexity of source code but the concept still applies.  We use 
that as a framework also for application tests as well.  It's from the 
OSSTMM 3.0 so the concepts are very new but it really helps you test for 
the size of an application's attack surface and the controls in place. You 
may want to take a look at it.

Sincerely,
-pete.
