Abstract

Component-oriented software development is a new trend and is becoming very popular these days. In addition to requiring a different development approach, the new orientation also requires a different metrics approach. A set of metrics for Component Oriented Software Engineering was first introduced in previous research. These metrics set were used to measure the quality of component-oriented software designs. The impact of these metrics on design effort is investigated in this paper. A statistical model is developed based on nine projects that carried out component-oriented software development. Design effort is expressed as a function of a subset of the complexity metrics.
