Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTowards A Dynamic Object-Oriented Design Metric Plug-in FrameworkC. H. Loh, S. P. LeeProblem Statement: The evolution of software is made difficult by the need to integrate new features with all previously implemented features in software applications. Approach: present study introduced a general-purpose, platform-independent object-oriented design metric plug-in framework called jmetric intended to help building scalable, extendable object-oriented design metric plug-ins. jmetric seeks to address problem by providing the plug-in developer a structured … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 6,911 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Evaluation of Medium Access Schemes in 802.11 Wireless NetworksG. Singh, B. S. SohiProblem statement: Deployment of real time services over 802.11 wireless networks requires quality of service (QoS) differentiation mechanisms for different traffic types. This required investigations into the performance of the Medium access (MAC) schemes like Distributed Coordinated Function (DCF) and Enhanced DCF with respect to the stringent QoS requirements imposed by the real time services. Motivation for this research was … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 7,136 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Integrated Quantitative Assessment Model For Usability EngineeringHaidar S. Jabbar, T. V. Gopal, Sattar J. AboudMany different quantitative assessment models have been proposed to measure and report the usability of a general software product for various business and design purposes. However, there are several problems coupled with existing models that consequently bias and affect the process and results of the usability assessment. Moreover, they do not aid their usage by analysts who are not experienced … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 5 · 31 May 2007 · 6,702 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntelligence System for Software Maintenance Severity PredictionParvinder Singh Sandhu, Sunil Kumar, Hardeep SinghThe software industry has been experiencing a software crisis, a difficulty of delivering software within budget, on time, and of good quality. This may happen due to number of defects present in the different modules of the project that may require maintenance. This necessitates the need of predicting maintenance urgency of the particular module in the software.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuality Metric Development Framework (qMDF)K. Mustafa, R. A. KhanSeveral object-oriented metrics have been developed and used in conjunction with the quality models to predict the overall quality of software. However, it may not be enough to propose metrics. The fundamental question may be of their validity, utility and reliability. It may be much significant to be sure that these metrics are really useful and for that their construct … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,379 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Fuzzy Approach for Integrated Measure of Object-Oriented Software TestabilityVandana Gupta, K. K. Aggarwal, Yogesh SinghFor large software systems, testing phase seems to have profound effect on the overall acceptability and quality of the final product. The success of this activity can be judged by measuring the testability of the software. A good measure for testability can better manage the testing effort and time. Different Object Oriented Metrics are used in measurement of object-oriented testability … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,905 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExploring the Relationship between Cohesion and ComplexityCara Stein, Glenn Cox, Letha EtzkornMany metrics have been proposed to measure the complexity or cohesion of object-oriented software. However, the complexity or cohesion of a piece of software is more difficult to capture than these metrics imply. In fact, studies have shown that existing metrics consistently fail to capture complexity or cohesion well. This study explores the reasons behind these results: cohesion is difficult … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 9,523 accessesView PDFCite
