Abstract
We propose new metrics for understandability and modifiability of class inheritance structures based on the object-oriented metrics suggested by Chidamber and Kemerer. The metrics are evaluated using the results of Gursaran s experiments which validated the empirical relation of DIT(Depth of Inheritance Tree) and NOC(Number of Children) metrics of Chidamber and Kemerer.
Keywords
object-oriented software metrics; class inheritance hierarchy; maintainability;
