An Object-oriented Software Complexity Metrics Set With Class-level And System Level Metrics

With the rapid development of information technology, the research on metrics has become a fascinating field because of its importance.The traditional process-oriented software metrics have been developed a lot. With the development of object-oriented technology, the object-oriented software metrics become more important.This article analyzes class-level software complexity metrics CK and Li, and system-level MOOD metrics. In addition, these metrics are evaluated by the Weyuker method. With the observation of the defects of these metrics, a new evaluation method by integrating CK, Li and MOOD is presented. As a result, the quality measurement of object-oriented programs is improved. Therefore, the experiment proves the proposed method is much suitable for the whole evaluation of software quality. And a metrics system has been developed to prove the new evaluation method.
