Abstract

In this paper, a quality model for object-oriented software and an automated metric tool, Reconfigurable Automated Metrics for Object-Oriented Software (RAMOOS) are proposed. The quality model is targeted at the maintainability and reusability aspects of software which can be effectively predicted from the source code. RAMOOS assists users in applying customized quality model during the development of software. In the beginning of adopting RAMOOS, a user may need to use his intuition to select or modify a system-recommended metric model to fit his specific software project needs. If the initial metrics do not meet the expectation, the user can retrive the saved intermediate results and perform further modification to the metric model. The verified model can then be applied to future similar projects.
