This research addresses the needs for software measures in object-orientation design through the development and implementation of a new suite of metrics for OO design, and suggests ways in which managers may use these metrics for process improvement.

This research concentrates on several object-oriented software metrics and the validation of these metrics with maintenance effort in two commercial systems.

IEEE Transactions on Software EngineeringA critique of software defect prediction models

H holistic models for software defect prediction, using Bayesian belief networks, are recommended as alternative approaches to the single-issue models used at present and research into a theory of "software decomposition" is argued for.

This Wiley Series is already notable for a number of very interesting texts, and this is another well produced, detailed volume, though one can question why in a 1991 publication, in an area as fast moving and voluminously written about as information systems.

An FP-like approach is presented, named class point, which was conceived to estimate the size of object-oriented products, and two measures are proposed, which are theoretically validated showing that they satisfy well-known properties necessary for size measures.

Although one of the design metrics (informational fan-out)/ was able to identify change-prone, fault-prone and complex programs, code metrics (i.e. lines of code and number of branches) were better.

Predicting maintenance effort with function points

72 Citations1997F. Niessink, Hans van Vliet

Analysis of data gathered on a major system over a period of 18 months suggests that the size of the component to be changed has a much larger impact on effort than thesize of the change itself.
