Rich) Newsgroups: comp.object Subject: Object-Oriented Metrics Summary: What kinds of OO-Metrics do people use? Message-ID: Date: 14 Feb 91 19:16:58 GMT Sender: news@lanl.gov Distribution: comp Organization: Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) Lines: 23 When it comes time to review a particular OO-Design, or even an OO-Implementation, what kinds of qualitative/quantitative measures are used? Do people talk in terms of object coupling, cohesion, etc? (seems like personal preferences tend to dominate here) Is there anyone out there practicing the Law of Demeter? What is the current status of this project (I have a couple of references on this, but the latest one is out of IEEE Software, Sept. *1989*). Comments, pointers, etc., to "dor@lanl.gov" -- I will post a summary (or we can hash it out right here in public if people prefer ;-).
