Candidate reuse metrics for object oriented and Ada software

Measurement of language-supported reuse in object-oriented and object-based software

A major beneet of object oriented software development is the support for reuse provided by object oriented and object based languages. Yet, measures and measurement tools that quantify such language supported reuse have been lacking. Comprehensive reuse measures, particularly for reuse with modiications, are necessary to evaluate the status of reuse in an organization and to monitor improvemen...

Deriving Measures of Software Reuse in Object Oriented Systems

The analysis and measurement of current levels of software reuse are necessary to monitor improvements. This paper provides a framework for the derivation of measures of software reuse and introduces several de nitions, attributes, and abstractions of potentially measurable reuse properties. The framework is applied to the problem of measuring reuse in object oriented systems which support \lev...

Measurement of Software Maintainability and Reusability in the Object Oriented Paradigm

The Metrics Group of Virginia Tech has been studying the object oriented paradigm and how it relates to software maintainability and software reusability in an attempt to make programmers more productive. Software reuse is the key to increasing productivity within the software development process. By reusing existing software, time and effort are saved in the testing and maintenance phases of a...

Reuse Metrics for Object Oriented Software

Product Metrics for Service-Oriented Infrastructures Product Metrics for Service-Oriented Infrastructures

Service-oriented architecture is nowadays widely adopted as modern approach for development of enterprise-wide and cross-enterprise distributed applications. From the software engineering point of view, these applications resemble some features of formerly known component-based and object-oriented software systems and web applications, but the differences are substantial enough to make it impos...
