A controlled experiment investigation of an object-oriented design heuristic for maintainability

Declarative Semantics in Object-Oriented Software Development - A Taxonomy and Survey

One of the modern paradigms to develop an application is object oriented analysis and design. In this paradigm, there are several objects and each object plays some specific roles in applications. In an application, we must distinguish between procedural semantics and declarative semantics for their implementation in a specific programming language. For the procedural semantics, we can write a ...

A Quantitative Evaluation of Maintainability of Software Architecture Styles

Proper decisions play a crucial role in any software architecture design process. An important decision of design stage is the selection of a suitable software architecture style. Lack of investigation on the quantitative impact of architecture styles on software quality attributes is the main problem in using such styles. Consequently, the use of architecture styles in designing is based on th...

Estimation of Maintainability in Object Oriented Design Phase: State of the art

Object oriented designing is an essential part of software environment. This study focuses on a set of object oriented metrics that can be used to measure the maintainability of an object oriented design. These metrics for object oriented design focus on measurements that are applied to the class and design characteristics. These measurements permit designers to access their software early in p...

A Controlled Experiment for Evaluating Quality Guidelines on the Maintainability of Object-Oriented Designs

Analysis of Maintainability Models for Object Oriented System

There is always has been a demand to provide efficient and effective high quality software. There are various maintainability objects to provide better maintainability. The quality of good software design heavily effective the quality of software. One of the claimed advantages of object-oriented paradigm is ease of maintenance. This paper provides the review on the papers studied on the softwar...
