Assessing the quality of object-oriented designed systems

Abstract

A new form of code analysis is presented aimed at helping a programmer assess the quality of a program's code. A description of object-oriented designed systems is given. Different classifications of modules used to assess the quality of the code of an object-oriented system are given, and techniques to analyze a system's source code are described. These classifications are discussed in the context of telecommunication software. Analysis techniques are presented to detect these modules. In addition, some techniques for assessing the quality of a module or of the connection between two modules are presented.<>
