Abstract

Referenced methods for measuring the quality of object-oriented software differ from traditional methods. Therefore, the metrics and quality attributes that used to measure the quality of such software will be also different. Object-oriented design metrics are used for measuring the level qualification of developed software such as the efficiency, complexity, understandability, reusability, testability and mantainability. In this article, the metric suite of Chidamber&Kemerer that accepted significantly in the literature and used for measuring object-oriented design quality was explained briefly, and an experimental study was carried out to show the relationship between this metrics and software quality attributes
