Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Tool for Testing of Inheritance Related Bugs in Object Oriented SoftwareB. G. Geetha, V. Palanisamy, K. Duraiswamy, G. SingaravelObject oriented software development different from traditional development products. In object oriented software polymorphism, inheritance, dynamic binding are the important features. An inheritance property is the main feature. The compilers usually detect the syntax oriented errors only. Some of the property errors may be located in the product. Data flow testing is an appropriate testing method for testing program futures. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 7,068 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluating the Effect of Inheritance on the Characteristics of Object Oriented ProgramsThabit S. Mohammed, Hayam K. MustafaThis paper considers a fact that software measures, which many of them were defined many years ago, are still not widely used in software industry, and therefore some additional insights will be gained by investigating Halstead's metrics and use them to propose more software metrics. Since the object oriented approach was considered an active technology for achieving high quality software, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,784 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConstruction of an Integrated Object Oriented System for Temporal GISSouheil Khaddaj, Abdul Adamu, Munir MoradThe development of temporal GIS systems capable of dealing with the evolution of geographical objects is still a challenging task. Although many successful GIS systems have been implemented, comparatively little has been done on how to determine and analyze the patterns of continuous changes of geographical objects. The aim of this paper is to construct a GIS system using an … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,727 accessesView PDFCite
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
