Study of software metrics for software flexibility

In order to measure software flexibility based on object-oriented software's source codes,this paper proposed a flexibility measurement model including 7 concrete measurement factors,and developed a tool which could extract all the measurement factors from a software coded by Java.Besides,in order to prevent researchers from measuring flexibility through changing source codes manually so that they could measure flexibility even though they were not very familiar with software's implementation details,this paper proposed a method which used the measurement model based on the software evolution to measure flexibility.In the end,validated that the measurement model and the method proposed were reasonable by using them to a famous open-source software called Ant.
