Research on Layered Quality Metrics Model for Java Programme
Sun Jia · 2003
Metrics model is in fact a cluster of criterions to assess software, which may show the characteristics of different software systems or modules and then serve different demands from users. The research on software metrics tries to give characteristic evaluations to software components in component extraction, and then supports users to select reusable components in high quality. Java has been one of the main languages today. With consideration of characteristics of Java and research on some general metrics model, our model: Quality Metrics Model for Java is born. Following the principle of Factor.Criterion.Metrics , more detailed descriptions of factors, criterions and metrics of our model are given. In fact, the metrics model shows us some way for consideration. Through this model, we hope to normalize the point of the views of users. In JavaSQMM, four activities organize software quality evaluating: understanding, function implementing, maintaining and reusing, and then four corresponding factors of quality come to birth, which are mixed by criteria and metrics. When designing our Java metrics model, the original development of Object Oriented Metrics Model Tool for Java (OOMTJava)provides the support to process of metrics semi.automatically.
