It is a little over ten years since Chidamber and Kemerer's obje ct-oriented (OO) metric suite which included the Lack of Cohesion Of Methods (LCOM) metric was rst proposed 9...
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...
The structural stability of an object-oriented design (OOD) refers to the extent to which the structure of the design is preserved throughout the evolution of the software from on...
An estimation of change-proneness of parts of a software system is an active topic in the area of software engineering. Such estimates can be used to predict changes to different c...
In software engineering it is widely acknowledged that the usage of metrics at the initial phases of the object oriented software life cycle can help designers to make better decis...
