....inheritance trees are attributes of systems which are harder to understand and (by implication) harder to maintain. We analyse why this might be the case, and propose ways of remedying this situation. 1. Introduction A key feature of the object oriented (OO) paradigm is that of inheritance [21]. Use of inheritance is claimed to reduce the amount of software maintenance necessary, ease the burden of testing [1] and produce more reliable, high quality software [2] In this paper, we investigate five OO systems, all written in C , and empirically evaluate hem using a subset of Chidamber ....

....need for further empirical investigations in this area, particularly into the benefits of using inheritance. Keywords Empirical software engineering, object oriented systems, maintainability, inheritance. 1 INTRODUCTION A key feature of the object oriented (OO) paradigm is that of inheritance [19, 6, 11, 18, 20]. In OO systems, use of inheritance is claimed to reduce the amount of software maintenance necessary and ease the burden of testing [1, 16, 7, 10] the reuse of software through inheritance is claimed to produce more maintainable, understandable and reliable software [3, 2, 5] In this paper, we ....
