Identifying thresholds for object-oriented software metrics
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 different application domains. The aim of this work is the definition of thresholds for a set of object-oriented software metrics,

A Catalogue of Thresholds for Object-Oriented Software Metrics
Thresholds for the majority of software metrics are still not known. This might be the reason why a measurement method that should be part of a software quality assessment process is not yet present in object-oriented software industry. In this work, we applied an empirical method to 111 system dataset, identifying thresholds for 17 object-oriented software metrics. Furthermore, we propose some...
متن کاملObjects Identification in Object-Oriented Software Development - A Taxonomy and Survey on Techniques
Analysis and design of object oriented is onemodern paradigms for developing a system. In this paradigm, there are several objects and each object plays some specific roles. Identifying objects (and classes) is one of the most important steps in the object-oriented paradigm. This paper makes a literature review over techniques to identify objects and then presents six taxonomies for them. The f...
متن کاملAnalyzing Theoretical Basis and Inconsistencies of Object Oriented Metrics
Metrics help in identifying potential problem areas and finding these problems in the phase they are developed decreases the cost and avoids major ripple effects from these in later development stages. These days, Object Oriented Paradigm is mainly used for all practical purposes, hence accessing Object Oriented Systems is a major research area in Software Engineering. As proved by researchers ...
متن کاملApplying and Interpreting Object Oriented Metrics
Object-oriented design and development is becoming very popular in today's software development environment. Object oriented development requires not only a different approach to design and implementation, it requires a different approach to software metrics. Since object oriented technology uses objects and not algorithms as its fundamental building blocks, the approach to software metrics for...
متن کاملImproving the automatic detection of design flaws in object-oriented software systems
In order to increase the flexibility and extensibility of an object-oriented software system, its structural flaws have to be detected. The practice shows that the automatic approach for design flaw detection based on metrics is not very accurate. While the choice of the used metrics can be easily argued, the values for their thresholds are usually chosen based only upon the designers experienc...
