A Critical Evaluation of LI Metric using Weyuker’s Properties

Abstract

In the modern age of Computerization Object Oriented Paradigm is becoming more and more prominent. This has stimulated the need of high quality software, as the traditional metrics cannot be used in the object-oriented systems. Although CK suit of metric is the widely accepted metrics but when analyzed, according to their validation criteria on which these are based, these metrics can’t satisfy certain axioms. This paper gives the evaluation of LI suit of metrics and suggests the refinements to CK metrics so that these metrics should reflect accurate and precise results for OO based systems. Keywords: LI metric, Weyuker’s axioms.
