Definition and validation of requirements management measures
TL;DR: The quality of software systems depends on early activities in the software development process, of which the management of requirements is one.
A Definition of the Chidamber and Kemerer Metrics suite for UML
TL;DR: This work specifies how the Chidamber and Kemerer metrics suite can be measured from Unified Modelled Language class diagrams by presenting formal definitions for these metrics using the Unified Modelling Language 2.0 metamodel.

Lessons learned from automated analysis of industrial UML class models (an experience report)
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the use of an automated analysis tool on industrial software UML class models, where one set of models was created as part of the design process and the other was obtained from reverse engineering code.

An aggregated coupling measure for the analysis of object-oriented software systems
TL;DR: A new aggregated coupling measurement which captures both the structural and the conceptual characteristics of coupling between the software components is introduced which is also effective for change impact analysis.

A complexity measure
TL;DR: In this paper, a graph-theoretic complexity measure for managing and controlling program complexity is presented. But the complexity is independent of physical size, and complexity depends only on the decision structure of a program.

A Complexity Measure
TL;DR: Several properties of the graph-theoretic complexity are proved which show, for example, that complexity is independent of physical size and complexity depends only on the decision structure of a program.

Towards a metrics suite for object oriented design
TL;DR: These metrics are based upon measurement theory and are informed by the insights of experienced object-oriented software developers, and formally evaluated against a widelyaccepted list of software metric evaluation criteria.

Software Structure Metrics Based on Information Flow
S. Henry,Dennis Kafura +1 more
TL;DR: This paper defines and validates a set of software metrics which are appropriate for evaluating the structure of large-scale systems and can be interpreted to reveal various types of structural flaws in the design and implementation.
