An Evolutionary Study of Software Matrices for Object Oriented Products

Increase in the use of technology leads in the development of much new software. As soft ware development is a complex process, it is difficult to measure the software qualities and quantities. To measure the quality of developed and developing soft ware’s in terms of efficiency, cost, maintenance, time, scalability etc various matrices are proposed related to various constructs like class, couplings, cohesion, inheritance, information hiding, polymorphism etc .It is often difficult to determine which metric is used in which area. There are 27 matrices proposed for software measurement by various researchers which are used to measure the quality of products. The goal is to achieve the objective, reproducible, quantifiable measurement. The basic purpose of our research is to study various matrices in object oriented software development environment .in this paper we investigate the matrices on class and couplings. They are firstly defined and examined on different code of languages.
