Abstract

This paper illustrates the results of a research effort to measure the quality of software agents written in Java using extreme programming. A factoring of quality has been chosen in accordance with the properties and limitations of the type of products and development method considered. The use of the representational theory of measurement gave quantitative measures. The measure itself is then used to identify quality clusters that define an ordinal quality taxonomy. The result is a measure of quality that depends only on code, that is easy to implement and to take, and that also gives an indication of the improvements to low-quality classes.
