Mechanisms for interpretation of OO systems design metrics
Philippe Li-Thiao-Té, Jessie Kennedy, J. Owens · 2002
A major criticism of metrics for object oriented systems design has been their deficiencies in generating meaningful feedback information. The paper proposes a data interpretation method based on visualisation of results obtained from the method redefinition metric set. The method encompasses an "alarmer" technique for identifying suspected design problems occurring under certain conditions. We demonstrate how the method provides a mechanism for metric result interpretation, design problem identification and design decision deduction.
