Abstract

This paper introduces the invocation profile as the basis for a suite of metrics to indicate the presence and mix of object-oriented mechanisms in a system written in an object-oriented language. This addresses concerns of practitioners and stakeholders that object-oriented mechanisms should be adequately exploited in such a system and gives an indication of the skills needed by developers for system enhancement and maintenance. An outline is given of plans to implement this metrics suite for systems written in Java.
