Reliability Assessment and Feasibility Study of Software Metrics in Object Oriented Environment.

Abstract

Software is the set of codes prepared by the developers in particular development environment. Software is intended to meet the ad- hoc purpose of the clients (who ever uses it). There are different phases for the development of a software viz. elicitation, analysis, coding, testing, implementation etc. These all phases mentioned are followed in sequence by the development team for preparing software. We can measure the software in terms of its effectiveness in fulfilling our requirements by Software metrics. With the concept of software metrics only, Software quality is ensued. The metric helps the different stakeholders to perform the feasibility analysis of the softwares. There has been a shift in pattern of our coding style from time to time i.e. previously, it was the procedural. Now it has been replaced by the OO. So, we are required to focus on to the new enhanced suites which have maximum efficiency. This paper focuses on the feasibility analysis of the software metrics along with the proposal of the new metrics suite. Keywords: Elicitation, OO, metrics, UML etc
