A Coherent Object-Oriented (OO) Software Metric Framework Model

Software metrics play an important role in developing high quality software as well as developer productivity. In this paper, we analyze the relationships between object-oriented (OO) metrics attributes and software quality characteristics, combining traditional and OO metrics method, present a coherent framework model for object-oriented software metrics and their computational methods, which can metric software development from four layers: function layer, class layer, module layer and system layer.
