Effectiveness of Software Metrics for Object-oriented System

Software Design Metrics for Object-Oriented Software

The importance of software measurement is increasing leading to development of new measurement techniques. As the development of object-oriented software is rising, more and more metrics are being defined for object-oriented languages. Many metrics have been proposed related to various object-oriented constructs like class, coupling, cohesion, inheritance, information hiding and polymorphism. T...

Comparison of Software Quality Metrics for Object-Oriented System

According to the IEEE standard glossary of software engineering, Object-Oriented design is becoming more important in software development environment and software Metrics are essential in software engineering for measuring the software complexity, estimating size, quality and project efforts. There are various approaches through which we can find the software cost estimation and predicates on ...

Simplified Coupling Metrics for Object-Oriented Software

Coupling in software has been linked with maintainability and existing metrics are used as predictors of external software quality attributes such as fault-proneness, impact analysis, ripple effects of changes, changeability, etc. Many coupling measures for object-oriented (OO) software have been proposed, each of them capturing specific dimensions of coupling. In this paper, we describe and ev...

Identifying thresholds for object-oriented software metrics

Despite the importance of software metrics and the large number of proposed metrics, they have not been widely applied in industry yet. One reason might be that, for most metrics, the range of expected values, i.e., reference values are not known. This paper presents results of a study on the structure of a large collection of open-source programs developed in Java, of varying sizes and from di...
