Metrics For Software Components In Object Oriented Environments: A Survey

Object-oriented Software Engineering, classically refers to OOSE, is the object modeling methodology in software architectures. In this paper, we present obtainable and few Software metrics useful in the different phase of the Object-Oriented Software Development Life Cycle. Metrics have been used progressively in making quantitative and qualitative decisions as well as in risk assessment and reduction. They give software professionals the ability to evaluate software process. Metrics are used by the software industry to enumerate the development, operation and maintenance of software. The practice of applying software metrics to a software process and to a software product is a complex task that requires study and restraint, which brings knowledge of the status of the process and / or product of software in regard to the goals to accomplish. In this paper, metrics for Object Oriented Software Systems are presented. They provide a basis for measuring all characteristics.
