An Empirical Study on Object-Oriented Metrics
The objective of this study is the investigation of the correlation between object-oriented design metrics and the likelihood of the occurrence of object-oriented faults. Such a relationship, if identified, can be utilized to select effective testing techniques that take the characteristics of the program under test into account. Our empirical study was conducted on three industrial real-time s...
متن کاملThe Visibility of Maintenance in Object Models: An Empirical Study
This empirical study analyzes changes in C++ source code which occurred between two releases of an industrial software product and compares them with entities and relations available in object-oriented modeling techniques. The comparison offers increased understanding of what changes can and cannot be described using such object models. The goals were to investigate if the object model in this ...
متن کاملAn Empirical Validation of Object Oriented Design Metrics in Object Oriented Systems
Object Oriented (OO) Design and Development have become popular in today’s software development environment. To produce high quality object oriented applications, a strong emphasis on design aspects, especially during the early phases of software, development is necessary. Design metrics play an vital role in helping developers to appreciate design aspects of software ie improve software qualit...
متن کاملDirection and Scope of Comprehension-Related Activities by Procedural and Object-Oriented Programmers: An Empirical Study
This study examines the direction and scope of comprehension-related activities of professional programmers carrying out several comprehension and maintenance activities over time. Procedural and object-oriented (OO) programmers studied a program and subsequently performed modifications during two sessions. Results showed that the OO programmers tended to use a strongly top-down approach to pro...
متن کاملIntegrity Maintenance in an Object-Oriented Database
We present an approach for integrating inter-object constraint maintenance seamlessly into an object-oriented database system. We develop a constraint compilation scheme that accepts declarative global specification of constraints, including relational integrity, referential integrity, and uniqueness requirements, and generates an efficient representation that permits localized processing. We d...
