Although quality is not easy to evaluate since it is a complex concept compound by different aspects, several properties that make a good object-oriented design have been recogniz...
This paper describes the results of a study where the impact of Object-Oriented design on software quality characteristics is experimentally evaluated. A suite of metrics for OO d...
Inheritance and polymorphism are key mechanisms of the object-oriented approach that enable designers to develop systems in an incremental manner. In this paper, we develop techni...
—This paper describes the results of an investigation into a set of metrics for object-oriented design, called the MOOD metrics. The merits of each of the six MOOD metrics is dis...
