Mendel: A Model, Metrics, and Rules to Understand Class Hierarchies
Inheritance is an important mechanism when developing object-oriented programs with class-based programming languages: it enables subtyping, polymorphism, and code reuse. Inherita...

Predicting Maintainability with Object-Oriented Metrics - An Empirical Comparison
A large number of metrics have been proposed for measuring properties of object-oriented software such as size, inheritance, cohesion and coupling. We have been investigating whic...
