Metrics for Controlling Effort During Adaptive Maintenance of Object-Oriented Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The object-oriented modeling has been largely adopted in industry in the last years. Several systems built 4 or 5 years ago may need an adaptive maintenance process in order to better satisfy market and customer needs. In this paper1, a model for effort estimation/prediction of the adaptive maintenance is presented. A selection of metrics for effort estimation has been applied to the general model for evaluating maintenance effort. The metrics presented have been validated against real data. The validation presented has shown that some metrics that can be profitably employed for effort estimation/prediction can be also used with success for the estimation/prediction of the maintenance effort. Moreover, the results obtained gives some guidelines to maintain under control relevant factors for the adaptive maintenance.

Estimation and Prediction Metrics for Adaptive Maintenance Effort of Object-Oriented Systems
ÐMany software systems built in recent years have been developed using object-oriented technology and, in some cases, they already need adaptive maintenance in order to satisfy market and customer needs. In most cases, the estimation and prediction of maintenance effort is performed with difficulty due to the lack of metrics and suitable models. In this paper, a model and metrics for estimation...

متن کاملPredicting Maintenance Performance Using Object-Oriented Design Complexity Metrics
The Object-Oriented (OO) paradigm has become increasingly popular in recent years. Researchers agree that, although maintenance may turn out to be easier for OO systems, it is unlikely that the maintenance burden will completely disappear. One approach to controlling software maintenance costs is the utilization of software metrics during the development phase, to help identify potential proble...
متن کاملManagerial Use of Metrics for Object-Oriented Software: An Exploratory Analysis
With the increasing use of object-oriented methods in new software development there is a growing need to both document and improve current practice in object-oriented design and development. In response to this need, a number of researchers have developed various metrics for object-oriented systems as proposed aids to the management of these systems. In this research an analysis of a set of me...
