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...
Measuring structural design properties of a software system, such as coupling, cohesion, or complexity, is a promising approach towards early quality assessments. To use such meas...
Abstract. Navigability is a main concern in the design of Web applications. In order to assess such navigability a number of measures has been proposed. From them, measures defined...
:Building software models before implementing them has become widely accepted in the software industry. Object models, graphically represented by class diagrams, lay the foundation...
Software designs decay over time. While most studies focus on decay at the system level, this research studies design decay on well understood micro architectures, design patterns...
