Abstract

The importance of software measurement is increasing leading to development of new measurement techniques. Reusing existing software components is a key feature in increasing software productivity. It is one of the key elements in object-oriented programming, which reduces the cost and increases the quality of the software. An important feature of C++ called templates support generic programming, which allows the programmer to develop reusable software modules such as functions, classes, etc. The need for software reusability metrics is particularly acute for an organization in order to measure the degree of generic programming included in the form of templates in code. This research addresses this need and introduces a new set of metrics for object-oriented software. Two metrics are proposed for measuring amount of genericty included in the code and then analytically evaluated against Weyuker's set of nine axioms. This set of metrics is then applied to standard projects and accordingly ways in which project managers can use these metrics are suggested.
面向对象系统的软件重用度量
软件测量的重要性日益增加,导致了新的测量技术的发展。重用现有的软件组件是提高软件生产力的一个关键特性。它是面向对象程序设计的关键要素之一,它降低了成本,提高了软件质量。c++的一个重要特性——模板支持泛型编程,它允许程序员开发可重用的软件模块,如函数、类等。对于一个组织来说,软件可重用性度量的需求是特别迫切的,以便度量代码中模板形式中包含的泛型编程的程度。本研究解决了这一需求,并为面向对象的软件引入了一套新的度量标准。提出了两个度量标准,用于度量代码中包含的泛型量,然后根据Weyuker的九个公理集进行分析评估。然后将这组度量标准应用于标准项目,并相应地建议项目经理使用这些度量标准的方法。
