Software reuse metrics for object oriented systems

Abstract

The use of software metrics is an emerging trend in Software newlineEngineering The basic purpose of metrics at any point of time during the newlinedevelopment of a project is to provide quantitative information to the newlinemanagement so that information could be used effectively to control the newlinedevelopment process Moreover software metrics information can be used for newlineeffective decision making and improving the organizational performance newlineUnderstanding and controlling software costs can get us batter software newlineas over life and life styles continue to depend more and move on software newlinehence this factor become more important newlineIn order to help management and developers to use OO approach a newlinevariety of software metric have been proposed to help track the status of newlinesoftware design newline newline
