To analyze the complexity of object-oriented software, several metrics have been proposed. Among them, Chidamber and Kemerer's metrics are well-known ones as object-oriented ...
Successful software systems must be prepared to evolve or they will die. Although object-oriented software systems are built to last, over time they degrade as much as any legacy s...
This paper describes the results of a study where the impact of Object-Oriented design on software quality characteristics is experimentally evaluated. A suite of metrics for OO d...
Conventional object-oriented analysis delivers a business object model, which is transformed during design into collaborating class clusters which implement the business model...
Refactorings are behavior-preserving program transformations that automate design evolution in object-oriented applications. Three kinds of design evolution are: schema transformat...
