Abstract

This paper presents metrics for measuring the quality of object-oriented software. Quality of software generally depends on five parameters namely efficiency, understandability, complexity, reusability and maintainability. All of these parameters are associated with certain metrics. Quality of software can be measured by using object-oriented metrics. Software tends to become more complex over a series of releases and maintaining them becomes a more difficult task. Thus quality of software also tends to decrease over time. In this paper, a study is performed using object-oriented metrics that are computed over different releases of the software application JFreeChart.
