Managerial use of metrics for object-oriented software: an exploratory analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of a set of metrics proposed by Chidamber and Kemerer (1994) is performed in order to assess their usefulness for practising managers, and exploratory analyses of empirical data relating the metrics to productivity, rework effort and design effort on three commercial object-oriented systems are provided.

Product metrics for object-oriented systems
Sandeep Purao,Vijay K. Vaishnavi +1 more
TL;DR: A mathematical formalism is developed that shows that current research in this area contains varying coverage of different products and their properties at different development stages, and facilitates several analyses including aggregation across metrics, usage across metrics and exploitation of traditional metrics for object-oriented metrics.

Multi-method research: an empirical investigation of object-oriented technology
TL;DR: This application finds evidence that unconstrained inheritance usage in object-oriented software may inhibit software maintenance, and concludes that the multi-method approach offers the possibility of more reliable and generalizable results from empirical software engineering research.

A Catalogue of Refactorings for Model-to-Model Transformations
TL;DR: A dedicated catalogue of refactorings for improving the quality of model transformations in model-to-model (M2M) transfor- mations and applicable also to other M2M transformation languages.
An Evaluation of Component Adaptation Techniques
TL;DR: The issues and challenges surrounding component adaptation are described and various approaches in the literature are evaluated by comparing their use in adapting an existing component in a sample application to lead to a better understanding of the similarities andrences between existing adaptation techniques.
