A validation of object-oriented design metrics as quality indicators
TL;DR: Several of Chidamber and Kemerer's OO metrics appear to be useful to predict class fault-proneness during the early phases of the life-cycle and are better predictors than "traditional" code metrics, which can only be collected at a later phase of the software development processes.

A hierarchical model for object-oriented design quality assessment
J. Bansiya,C.G. Davis +1 more
TL;DR: An improved hierarchical model that relates design properties such as encapsulation, modularity, coupling, and cohesion to high-level quality attributes such as reusability, flexibility, and complexity using empirical and anecdotal information is described.

A unified framework for coupling measurement in object-oriented systems
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the existing frameworks and measures for coupling measurement in object-oriented systems is presented, and a unified framework based on the issues discovered in the review is provided and all existing measures are classified according to this framework.
Journal ArticleDOI
A unified framework for coupling measurement in object-oriented systems
TL;DR: This paper contributes to an increased understanding of the state of the art in coupling measurement in object-oriented systems by providing a standardized terminology and formalism for expressing measures which ensures that all measures using it are expressed in a fully consistent and operational manner.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exploring the relationship between design measures and software quality in object-oriented systems
TL;DR: It is shown that by using a subset of measures, accurate models can be built to predict which classes most of the faults are likely to lie in, and the best model shows a percentage of correct classifications higher than 80% and finds more than 90% of faulty classes.

Program complexity using hierarchical abstract computers
TL;DR: A model of program complexity is introduced which combines structural control flow measures with data flow measures based upon the prime program decomposition of a program written for a Hierarchical Abstract Computer and is shown that this measure is consistent with the ideas of information hiding and data abstraction.

The interconnectivity metrics: a new metric showing how a program is organized
TL;DR: The interconnectivity metric integrates the structural as well as the textual aspects of a program in such a way that the organization of a programs can be seen graphically.
