Inheritance Metrics for Object-Oriented Design

New Quality Inheritance Metrics for Object-Oriented Design

Metrics are used to help a software engineer in quantitative analysis to assess the quality of the design before a system is built. Object-Oriented (OO) design is becoming more popular in software development environment and OO design metrics are essential parts of software environment. The primary purpose of this paper is to analytically evaluate against the Weyuker’s property and empirically ...

Object-Oriented Inheritance Metrics: Cognitive Complexity Perspective

Identifying high cognitive complexity modules can lead to a better quality software system and can help during maintenance also. It has been found that inheritance has an impact on cognitive complexity of a software system. In this paper, two inheritance metrics based on cognitive complexity, one at class level CCI (Class Complexity due to Inheritance) and another at program level ACI (Average ...

A Metrics Suite for Object Oriented Design a Metrics Suite for Object Oriented Design a Metrics Suite for Object Oriented Design

Given the central role that software development plays in the delivery and application of information technology, managers are increasingly focusing on process improvement in the software development area. This demand has spurred the provision of a number of new and/or improved approaches to software development, with perhaps the most prominent being objectorientation (00). In addition, the foc...

Object-Oriented Design Quality Metrics

The purpose of this report is to evaluate if software metrics can be used to determine the object-oriented design quality of a software system. Several metrics and metric-tools are presented and evaluated. An experimental study was conducted as an attempt to further validate each metric and increase knowledge about them. We present strategies on how analysis of source code with metrics can be i...
