It is quite clear that measurement is necessary for the software development Out process to be successful. In addition, the path to controlling and improving the software design process may lie in the use of an object-oriented design approach. The recent movement toward object-oriented technology must also include the processes that control object-oriented development, namely software measures. Tom DeMarco summarizes the essence of these sentiments by stating, "You cannot control what you cannot measure" DeMarco 87. Measurement encompasses many aspects of the software life cycle. The emphasis of this document is on the design and implementation phases of an object-oriented approach. Viewing measurement from a higher level, software measurement activities must have specific objectives. After these objectives are identified, the concepts, terminology, and measures presented in this module can be used to construct a framework applicable to the environment under consideration. One such objective-oriented approach is the Goal-Question-Metric (GQM) paradigm proposed by Victor Basili and H. Dieter Rombach Basili 88. The basic premise of the GQM paradigm is that any software measurement activity is preceded by a goal. This goal leads to questions which generally involve quantification of the goal. Quantification issues lead to measures. This module will assist the practitioner and instructor in deciding which measures are appropriate answers to which questions. (KAR) P. 14.

"Based on a thorough study of measurement theory, category theory, and a strong mathematic foundation, Scott Whitmire presents his own formal model of objects - a ground-breaking development for object-oriented design measurement. Using this model, or any other formal model, you can create a custom metric for any design characteristic you can describe through careful observation. This indispensable book guides you through the development process for nine unique design characteristics, including a controversial new "quality of abstraction" characteristic, which combines Sufficiency, Completeness, and Cohesion to help you determine the extent to which components include all the features required of your design."--Page 4 of cover.
Object-oriented (OO) metrics are an integral part of object technology -- at the research level and in commercial software development projects. This book offers theoretical and empirical tips and facts for creating an OO complexity metrics (measurement) program, based on a review of existing research from the last several years. KEY TOPICS: Covers moving through object-oriented concepts as they related to managing the project lifecycle; the framework in which metrics exist; structural complexity metrics for traditional systems; OO product metrics; and current industrial applications. MARKET: For software developers, programmers, and managers.
A Framework for Managing, Measuring, and Predicting Attributes of Software Development Products and ProcessesReflecting the immense progress in the development and use of software metrics in the past decades, Software Metrics: A Rigorous and Practical Approach, Third Edition provides an up-to-date, accessible, and comprehensive introduction to soft
Presents a novel metrics-based approach for detecting design problems in object-oriented software. Introduces an important suite of detection strategies for the identification of different well-known design flaws as well as some rarely mentioned ones.

Abstract: Moving software development into the engineering arena requires controllability, and to control a process, it must be measurable. Measuring the process does no good if the product is not also measure, i.e., being the best at producing and inferior product does not define a quality process. Also, not every number extracted from software development is a valid measurement. A valid measurement only results when we are able to verify that the number is representative of the attribute that we wish to measure. Many proposed software metrics are used by practitioners without these metrics ever having been validated, leading to costly but often useless calculations. Several researchers have bemoaned the lack of scientific precision in much of the published software measurement work and have called for validation of software metrics by measurement theory. This dissertation applies measurement theory to validate fifty proposed object-oriented software metrics.
Software Metrics, 2/e is ideal for undergraduate and graduates studying a course in software metrics or software quality assurance. It also provides an excellent resource for practitioners in industry.
