Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify the object-oriented metrics which have strong impact on the reliability and fault-proneness of software products. The reliability and fault-proneness of software product is closely related to the design properties of class diagrams such as coupling between objects and depth of inheritance tree. Methods: This study has empirically validated the object-oriented metrics to determine which metrics are the best to predict fault-proneness. We have tested the metrics using logistic regressions and artificial neural networks. The results are then compared and validated by ROC curves. Results: The artificial neural network models show better results in sensitivity, specificity and correctness than logistic regression models. Among object-oriented metrics, several metrics can estimate the fault-proneness better. The metrics are CBO (coupling between objects), DIT (depth of inheritance), LCOM (lack of cohesive methods), RFC (response for class). In addition to the object-oriented metrics, LOC (lines of code) metric has also proven to be a good factor for determining fault-proneness of software products. Conclusion: In order to develop fault-free and reliable software products on time and within budget, assuring quality of initial phases of software development processes is crucial. Since object-oriented metrics can be measured in the early phases, it is important to make sure the key metrics of software design as good as possible.

Object-orientation has been proposed as a promising software process innovation to improve software productivity and quality. It has not been understood clearly, however, what factors influences the diffusion of object-oriented technology in organizations. A research model was formulated and hypotheses were generated based on the literature of information technology implementation and software process innovation. To test the research hypotheses, a questionnaire survey was conducted. The results based on 121 responses from Korean companies revealed that project characteristics, use of external experts, and number of development projects are significantly related to the diffusion of object-oriented analysis and design and object-oriented programming. Innovation champion is positively related to the diffusion of object-oriented analysis and design, whereas it is not related to the diffusion of object-oriented programming language. Only project complexity was significantly related to the diffusion of visual programming language. On the other hand, organizational size was not significantly related to any object-oriented technology in this study.

Recently, OOM(Object-Oriented Method) access method which begins to apply to software development is emphasizing development cost and time reduction through independent software reuse. But because of planning to the exclusion of the lack of knowledge and expansion or performance for development technology many problems are coming out. Therefore, this thesis suggests Effective Object-Oriented Modeling methods considering the plan for higher productivity enhancement of software in the software development life cycle. Effective Object-Oriented Modeling method includes, methods, Use Case modeling methods, Analysis Modeling methods, Design Modeling methods and others.

Interlocking software used in the electronic interlocking has been implemented through the structured approach until now. But there was the demerit that interlocking software has some problem in the standardization and the maintenance because of the limit in structured approach. Object-Oriented method overcoming this demerit was specified in the design step and the analysis step. There were object model, dynamic model and functional model in the analysis step and there were also two steps which were system design and object design in the design step. In this paper, Interlocking software was designed using Object-Oriented method to improve the standardization and the maintenance of the electronic interlocking. The electronic interlocking was analyzed with object modeling, dynamic modeling and functional modeling.

Though the studies on object-oriented software design which software component corresponds to phrases appearing in sentences of natural language have been going on, the design methodology has not been clearly set up yet. In this paper, the module structure of good quality was found not only by nouns that indicate class of object but also by subdividing sentences. I also suggested objected-oriented methodology observing the interdependency between objects and their relationships, and assessed the control problem of lift as an example.

Object-Oriented design method decomposes the program into object that establish the relationship between objects. It is the technique of object centered decomposition unlike function oriented legacy system. Since existing Object- Oriented design method doesn't fully explain of the design method of module and decomposition, and need to implement the Object-Oriented software as a total system init. It has many problems that whole object design method and application programs should be analyzed for the understanding an Object-Oriented software component. Therefore, this study provides a procedure for Object-Oriented module design and criteria of decomposition to practically support the complex and large system development. Futhermore, it shows a consistency between design model and implementation through a case study applying these module decomposition criteria to the real system.

The design feature of KOMPSAT-2 simulator based on object oriented design methodology in terms of unified modeling language (UML) has been discussed in this paper. Also, we present how to embed flight software into the simulator. Flight software em-bedding for KOMPSAT-2 simulator is compared to that of the KOMPSAT-1 simulator.

In this paper, we present an abstract object-oriented plat-form model .suitable for the real-time distributed telecommunication system. The proposed platform is constructed upon the extended version of the real-time, distributed operating system, SROS(Scalable Real-time Operating System), that is developed at ETRI and successfully operated in the ATM switching system for several years. The object-oriented software development and maintenance methodology will resolve the current software crisis in the area of telecommunication and switching systems due to the everlasting maintenance about the huge amount of the existing software and the ever increasing needs for the better and new communication services. In general, an object-oriented software platform realizes the object-oriented methodology and possesses many good aspects like high productivity, better reusability, easy maintenance, et at. The platform is also designed to present the distributed multimedia service in addition to real-time event delivery. Recently, we have been implementing a couple of prototype bated on the proposed platform. Reflecting the evaluation results from these prototypes, the final platform specification will be determined.

An object-oriented system is organized by a set of interacting objects and the system behavior is represented by the cooperating interaction bet ween objects. The characteristics of object-oriented software. such as inheritance and polymorphism, increase the difficulty of the object-oriented software testing. At running time of a program, one call from a member function can bind to other member functions because of the dynamic characteristics such as concurrence, dynamic binding and interaction. Therefore, there need the research about considering the characteristics of object-oriented software and concurrently testing the interaction between objects. In this paper, we propose the techniques as follows. First, we construct a flattened state chart diagram by considering the inheritance and polymorphism. Next, we model the system with CPN(Colored Petri Net) that usually is applying the system modeling and simulation. Last, we propose a test case generation techniques for testing the interaction between objects in object-oriented software by applying a Design/CPN tool.
