....defined productivity as a function of development time and several other measurements relating to the cost of developing the software system. See [Lewi92] for his complete definition of productivity. Wei Li headed the last study dealing with metrics in the object oriented paradigm. Li and Henry [LiWe93] developed some metrics specifically for object oriented languages that predict maintainability from code and, in some cases, from design documents. The research was validated using two commercial systems written in Classic Ada TM (object oriented Ada) The focus of the Page 2 study was to ....
....software metrics with research in the object oriented paradigm. Specifically, Li investigated a suite of proposed object oriented metrics [Chid91] proposed several new object oriented metrics, and validated the metrics using maintenance data collected from two commercial systems. See [Chid91] and [LiWe93] for descriptions of the ten object oriented metrics. To validate their theories, data was collected over a three year period on the maintenance effort required by the two commercial systems. After performing the study, Li and Henry came to the following conclusions. 1. Maintenance effort can ....

....during many case studies [AbbKorGre94, ChiKem94, Chu95, LorKid94] has proven to be of great benefit in addressing certain problems of software design. Thus, internal quality factors can be realised by providing appropriate measurement and design techniques which address a particular design problem [LiHen93]. Unfortunately, the interpretation of the results obtained does not always lead to sensible conclusions. Thresholds, averages and benchmarks constitute the main elements which comparison is possible against. Little research has been done on the additional tools and or techniques needed in order ....
