Empirical Study of Object-Oriented Metrics

By: K.K. Aggarwal, Yogesh Singh, Arvinder Kaur, Ruchika Malhotra

Abstract

Unlike other engineering disciplines, software engineering is not grounded in the basic quantitative laws of physics. Absolute measurements, such as voltage, mass, velocity or temperature, are uncommon in the software world. Instead, we attempt to derive a set of indirect measures that lead to metrics that provide an indication of the quality of some representation of software.
