Object-Oriented Metrics

Abstract

The application of object-oriented methodology and an evolutionary approach to the development of software-intensive systems introduces some unique acquisition management challenges. This report discusses the unique challenges of using metrics to monitor software developed using object-oriented techniques and evolutionary development lifecycle. Topics addressed include the definition of 31 specific metrics that may be used for monitoring object-oriented design and development. In addition, this report provides guidance on which metrics would be useful during the process of transitioning to the object technology.
