Object oriented design brought up improvement of productivity and software quality by adopting some concepts such as inheritance and encapsulation. However, both the number of software's classes and object couplings are increasing as the software volume is becoming larger. The object coupling between classes is closely related with software complexity, and high complexity causes decreasing software quality. In order to solve the object coupling issue, IT-field researchers adopt a component based development and software quality metrics. The component based development requires explicit representation of dependencies between classes and the software quality metrics evaluates quality of software. As part of the research, we intend to gain a basic data that will be used on decomposing software. We focused on properties of the linkage between classes rather than previous studies evaluated and accumulated the qualities of individual classes. Our method exploits machine learning technique to analyze the properties of linkage and predict the strength of dependency between classes, as a new perspective on analyzing software property.

As software technology is in progress and software quantification is getting more important, many metrics have been proposed to quantify a variety of system entities. These metrics can be classified into two different forms : scalar metric and metric vector. Though some recent studies pointed out the composition problem of the scalar metric form, many scalar metrics are successfully used in software development organizations due to their practical applications. In this paper, it is concluded that hybrid metric form weighting external complexity is most suitable for scalar metric form. With this concept, a general framework for hybrid metrics construction independent of the development methodologies and target system type is proposed. This framework was successfully used in two projects that quantify the analysis phase of the structured methodology and the design phase of the object oriented real-time system, respectively. Any organization can quantify system entities in a short time using this framework.

To support an efficient management of software verification and validation activities, many defect prediction models have been proposed based on object oriented metrics. They usually adopt logistic regression analysis, And, they state that the correctness of prediction is about 60${\sim}$70%, We performed a similar experiment with Eclipse 3.3 to check their prediction effectiveness, However, the result shows that correctness is about 40% which is much lower than the original results. We also found that univariate logistic regression analysis produces better results than multivariate logistic regression analysis.

리팩토링은 외부로 나타나는 행위의 변화없이 내부구조를 바꾸어 소프트웨어의 품질을 높인다. 이러한 리팩토링을 언제, 어디에 적용하는가에 대한 결정은 유지보수자(maintainer)의 주관적인 직관에 따르기 때문에 이를 체계적으로 결정하는 것은 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 메트릭을 이용하여 객체지향 시스템에서 언제, 어떤 리팩토링을 적용할 것인가를 체계적으로 결정하는 방안에 대해서 논의한다. 리팩토링의 최종 결정권은 유지 보수자가 가지고 있으므로 리팩토링에 대한 결정을 보조하는 방안에 초점을 맞추었다. 그리고 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법을 6가지 대표적인 리팩토링에 적용시켜보았다.

객체지향 프로그램의 효율성과 설계의 품질을 평가하기 위해서는 필수적으로 정량적 메커니즘을 사용해야 한다. 특히, 개발비용을 예측하기 위한 요구가 커질수록 소프트웨어 개발 생명주기의 초기에 측량해야 하는 필요성은 더욱 강해진다. 따라서, 분석단계 산출물에 대하여 이루어지는 측량은 나머지 개발 주기 단계에서 발견될 수 있는 결함에 대한 예측이나, 시스템의 개발에 소요될 노력과 비용을 예측하는데 사용될 수 있으므로 그 중요성이 더욱 강조되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 클래스 기반(class-driven)의 분석 모델링 절차에 따라 작성되는 모델을 사용하여, 클래스의 책임과 협력 관계에 대한 정보가 주어진 클래스에 대한 복잡도를 측량하기 위한 메트릭을 제안한다. 제안된 메트릭은 클래스들 사이의 상호작용으로 나타나는 협력의 복잡도와 인터페이스 복잡도를 포함하며, 개별 클래스의 복잡도를 사용하여 전테 시스템의 복잡도를 계산하도록 확장할 수 있다. 개발 생명주기의 가장 초기 단계인 분석단계에서 클래스를 어떻게 분할할 것인지에 대한 선택적 직면했을 때, 올바른 클래스 분할을 선택하도록 도와줌으로써, 나머지 개발 단계에서 개발에 요구되는 노력과 시간을 예측하고 관리하는데 사용될 수 있다.

Software metrics evaluate the development process, measure the software development effort, and control the software quality effectively. Moreover in a current status to emphasize reusability, it is necessary to study of cohesion and coupling that plays an important role in evaluating reusability. Object oriented methodology to use the concept like encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism demands metrics that are different from existing procedural methodology, so a study for object oriented metrics is in progress at the present time. In this paper, we propose cohesion and coupling metrics for object oriented program, evaluate the proposed metrics by using the complexity properties proposed by Weyuker and Briand, and extract cohesion and coupling from C++ code.

소프트웨어가 복잡해지고 대형화됨에 따라 다양한 소프트웨어 측정 개발에 필요한 비용이 점차 증가하게 되었지만 지금까지 시도된 측정 기법은 정형화되어 있지 않고 다양한 측정 메트릭을 통해 소프트웨어를 측정한다고 해도 측정 결과의 비교와 분석을 통해 수치적 해석 데이터를 얻기가 어려웠다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 사용자의 사용 사례를 통해 패턴을 추출하고 이를 통해 실험 데이터를 만들어 실제 소프트웨어가 동작하는 도중 내부 모듈간의 동적인 관계를 측정할 수 있는 시스템을 제안하였다.

클래스에 관한 재사용 관련 정보는 기능.환경면에서 정보와 품질 메트릭 정보로 구분할 수 있다. 기능.환경면에서 정보는 재사용 부품의 기능과 구현 환경에 관한 정보이며, 품질메트릭 정보는 재상용 부품들의 재사용성을 가시적으로 측정할 수 있는 정보이다. 클래스의 재사용성을 측정하기 위해서는 클래스의 절차적이고 객체지향적인 특성들을 모두 고려하여야 한다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 클래스에 관한 재사용성 관련 정보를 소개하고 품질 메트릭 정보를 정량화시키는 정의식들을 제안하고, 클래스 코드로부터 기능.환경면으로 정보와 품질 메트릭 정보를 추출 및 측정하였다

To support an efficient management of software verification and validation activities, much research has been conducted to predict defects in early phase. And defect prediction models have been proposed to predict defects. But the generality of the models has not been experimentally studied for other software system. In other words, most of prediction models were applied only to the same system that had been used to build the prediction models themselves. Therefore, we performed an experiment to explore generality of major prediction models. In the experiment, we applied three defects prediction models to three different systems. As a result, we cannot find their generality of defect prediction capability. The cause is analyzed to result from a different metric distribution between the systems.

To support an efficient management of software verification and validation activities, many defect prediction models have been proposed based on object oriented metrics. In order to apply defect prediction models, we need to determine a threshold value. Because we cannot know actually where defects are, it is difficult to determine threshold. Therefore, we performed a series of experiments to explore the issue of determining a threshold. In the experiments, we applied defect prediction models to other systems different from the system used in building the prediction model. Specifically, we have applied three models - Olague model, Zhou model, and Gyimothy model - to four different systems. As a result, we found that the prediction capabilities varied considerably with a chosen threshold value. Therefore, we need to perform a study on the determination of an appropriate threshold value to improve the applicably of defect prediction models.
