Assessment of Software Quality through Object Oriented Metrics

Dr. E. Chandra, P. Edith Linda

Abstract


The design and development of any project has got a well defined project development cycle. But once the project or the product has been developed it is subject to change due to a lot a policy changes on the part of the organization or the government. These changes are implemented on the code but most of the time these changes are not reflected on the design document. This leads to inconsistencies in terms of design and code thereby causing depreciation in terms of quality. In this work we propose to use the object oriented metrics to asses the quality of the software maintained by third party. The proposed work developed will be used to determine the maximum breakthrough period of the software.

Keywords


OO Metrics, Weighted Method per Class, Depth of Inheritance Tree
