Empirical Evaluation of Software Quality Using Object-Oriented Software Metrics
Satyavan Nain, Sunita Parashar Anshu Parashar · International Journal of Advanced Research in Computer Science · 2012
Object-Oriented software development requires different metrics to evaluate the quality of the software due to newly implemented constructs/concepts. A large number of metrics have been developed to measure these constructs by software practitioners and academicians. Managers are particularly interested in measuring external attributes such as maintainability, reliability and reusability. In this paper we provide empirical evaluation supporting the role of quality metrics to measure the quality attributes understandability, maintainability, reusability and complexity. We believe that these results have significant implications for designing high quality software product using object-oriented approach. Keywords: object-oriented concepts, software quality, software metrics, quality attributes
