Mendel: A Model, Metrics, and Rules to Understand Class Hierarchies
Inheritance is an important mechanism when developing object-oriented programs with class-based programming languages: it enables subtyping, polymorphism, and code reuse. Inherita...

Predicting Maintainability with Object-Oriented Metrics - An Empirical Comparison
A large number of metrics have been proposed for measuring properties of object-oriented software such as size, inheritance, cohesion and coupling. We have been investigating whic...

Discovering Comprehension Pitfalls in Class Hierarchies
Despite many advances in program comprehension, polymorphism and inheritance are still the cause of many misunderstandings in object-oriented code. In this paper, we present a sui...

Understanding the use of inheritance with visual patterns
The goal of this work is to visualize inheritance in objectoriented programs to help its comprehension. We propose a single, compact view of all class hierarchies at once using a ...
