DETERMINING SOFTWARE MAINTAINABILITY OF JAVA INTERFACES USING QUANTITATIVE APPROACH
N. Baskar, A. V. Ramani · 2014
Software maintainability is one important aspect in the evolution of a software product. Several coupling measures have been introduced to identify and measure the design complexity of an object oriented (OO) systems. The coupling metrics proposed in this paper recognizes the complexity between inheritance and interface programming. This paper presents measurements of Coupling between Object (CBO) in object oriented programming. The metric values of class and interface inheritance diagrams have been compared to prove whether maintainability is improved to use and beneficial for the software developers.
