The requirement to improve software productivity and software quality has promoted the research on software metrics technology. Traditional metrics cannot be used for the object oriented paradigm because there are no metrics for the concepts like encapsulation, inheritance, and coupling so Various object-oriented metrics have been proposed by various researchers. Two of the widely accepted metrics are CK and MOOD Metrics. They have been analyzed according to their validation criteria and it has been observed that CK suite which was build on the validation criteria given by Weyukar fail to satisfy it completely. MOOD metrics on the other hand fail to satisfy the validation criteria given by the MOOD team themselves thus showing that MOOD Metrics is working with an inaccurate and imprecise understanding of the OO paradigm. Hence showing that the genesis of the metrics is controversial. Further many inconsistencies have been observed in CK and MOOD Metrics.
