Empirical Studies of Quality Models in Object-Oriented Systems

摘要: Abstract Measuring structural design properties of a software system, such as coupling, cohesion, or complexity, is promising approach toward early quality assessments. To use measurement effectively, models that quantitatively describe how these internal relate to relevant external system qualities reliability maintainability are needed. This chapter’s objective summarize, in structured and detailed fashion, the empirical results reported so far with modeling based on object-oriented systems. We perform critical review existing work order identify lessons learned regarding way studies performed reported. Constructive guidelines for facilitating future also provided, thus development an body knowledge.
