Evaluation of Suitability of Object Oriented Metrics for C++, Java and C#
Abstract
Object oriented systems are the main choice in the world scene today for development of high quality systems and object oriented metrics are shaping the way quality is perceived in these systems. This paper does an evaluation of the suitability of the various object oriented metrics across three popular Object Oriented programming languages - C++, Java and C#. The paper then analyzes the results that are arrived at. These evaluation results will help in selecting the proper set of metrics for a particular object oriented language.
