Classification of Object Oriented Metrics by Aivosto Tool

Object oriented design is becoming more popular in software development environment and object oriented design metrics is an essential part of software environment. This paper focus on a set of object oriented metrics that can be used to measure the quality of an object oriented design. Can Summarizes this paper : The increasing importance of software measurement has led to development of new software measures. Many metrics have been proposed related to various constructs like class, coupling, cohesion, inheritance, information hiding and polymorphism. But there is a little understanding of the empirical hypotheses and application of many of these measures. It is often difficult to determine which metric is more useful in which area. As a consequence, it is very difficult for project managers and practitioners to select measures for object-oriented systems. In this paper we investigate 15 metrics proposed by various researchers. The metrics are first defined and then explained using practical applications. They are applied on standard projects on the basis of which descriptive statistics, principal component analysis and correlation analysis is presented. Finally, classification working , evaluation for set metrics by using Aivosto tool .
