A Methodology to evaluate Object-Oriented Software Systems Using Change Requirement Traceability based on Impact analysis

It is a well known fact that software maintenance plays a major role and finds importance in software development life cycle. As object-oriented programming has become the standard, it is very important to understand the problems of maintaining objectoriented software systems. This paper aims at evaluating object-oriented software system through change requirement traceability traceability – based impact analysis methodology. The major issues have been related to change impact algorithms and inheritance inheritance of functionality.
