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, 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.

In spite of the size and complexity of software becomes large and complicated, the demand of rapid development, cost reduction, good productivity and good quality software is increasing in these days. Many methods were proposed for efficient software development such as various Case tools. Metrics, Process improvement model (CMM, SPICE, ISO9000) and etc. However, most of them we useful to manage the whole projects rather than an individual programming. In this paper, we introduced a system for quality assessment and complexity metrics for Java programs to assess the individual programmer's quality rather than team's quality. This system shows not only the metrics value for quality assessment but also the source code and the soucture of classes simultaneously.

객체지향 소프트웨어척도는 객체들의 규모와 구성 및 객체들간의 관계를 고려하면서, 전반적인 객체지향 특성을 반영하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 객체지향 소프트웨어의 규모 및 복잡도에 영향을 주는 4가지의 객체지향 패러다임 관련 특성(요인)들을 정하고, 객체지향 설계 스타일 지침들을 기반으로 객체지향 소프트웨어의 품질 측정을 위한 객체점수 척도를 제안한다. 그 지침들은 기존의 지침들에 하나의 새로운 지침을 추가한 것으로서 인지 심리학에서의 청크 이론을 기반으로 제시 된 것들이다. 제안된 객체점수 척도의 타당성 검증을 위해서 실험적 분석을 행하였는데, 이는 제안 척도가 전반적으로 객체 지향 개념 및 특성을 잘 반영하는지를 평가하기 위한 것으로 같은 출력을 갖는 두 C++ 프로그램을 제안된 척도로 측정하여 비교하였다. 이러한 실험 결과 제안한 객체점수 유용성이 입증되었다.

Model-driven engineering (MDE) and aspect-oriented software development (AOSD) contribute to the common goal of development of high-quality code in reduced time. To complement each approach with the benefits of the other, various methods of integration of the two approaches were proposed in the past. Aspect-oriented code generation, which targets obtaining aspect-oriented code directly from aspect models, offers some unique advantages over the other integration approaches. However, the existing aspect-oriented code generation approaches do not comprehensively address all aspects of a model-driven code generation system, such as a textual representation of graphical models, conceptual mapping, and incorporation of behavioral diagrams. These problems limit the worth of generated code, especially in practical use. Here, we propose AJFCode, an approach for aspect-oriented model-driven code generation, which comprehensively addresses the various aspects including the graphical models and their text-based representation, mapping between visual model elements and code, and the behavioral code generation. Experiments are conducted to compare the maintainability and reusability characteristics of the aspect-oriented code generated using the AJFCode with the most comprehensive object-oriented code generation approach. AJFCode performs well in terms of all metrics related to maintainability and reusability of code. However, the most significant improvement is noticed in the separation of concerns, coupling, and cohesion. For instance, AJFCode yields significant improvement in concern diffusion over operations (19 vs 51), coupling between components (0 vs 6), and lack of cohesion in operations (5 vs 9) for one of the experimented concerns.

Due to the emersion of J2EE(Java 2, Enterprise Edition), many enterprises inside and outside of the country have been developing the enterprise applications appropriate to the J2EE model. With the help of the component model of Enterprise Java Beans(EJH) which is the J2EE core technology, we can develop the distributed object applications quite simple. EJB application can be implemented by using the component-oriented object transaction middleware and the most applications utilize the distributed transaction. EJB developers can concentrate on the business logic because the EJB server covers the middleware service. Due to these characteristics, EJB technology became popular and then the study for EJB based application has been done quite actively However, the research of metrics for measuring the performance during run-time of the EJB applications has not been done enough. Tn this paper, we explore the workflow for the EJB application service on the run-time and classify the internal operation into several elements. We propose the metrics for evaluating the performance up to the bean level by using the classified elements. First, we analyze the lifecycle according to the bean types which comes from the EJB application on the run-time as to extract each factor used in performance measurement. We also find factors related to a performance and allocate the Performance factors to the metrics as the bean types. We also consider the characteristics like the bean's activation and message passing which happens during bean message call and then analyze the relations of the beans participating in the workflow of the application to make the workflow performance measurement possible. And we devise means to bring performance enhancement of the EJB application using the propose.

Recently, service-oriented systems have been issued by their properties of reducing software development time and effort by reusing functional service units. The reusability of services can effectively promote through loose coupling between services and loose coupling between services depends on component-based system. That is, the component-based system is designed by grouping the tightly coupled classes of the object-oriented system and the service-oriented system is designed by the component-based system. Therefore, to design the component-based system and service-oriented system efficiently, a metric to measure the coupling between classes accurately needs. In this paper, we propose a coupling metric between classes applying a structural property, a dynamic property, and the normalized value by 0-1. We prove the theoretical soundness of the proposed metric by the axioms of briand et al, and suggest the accuracy and practicality through a case study. We suggest the evaluation results of the proposed metric through a comparison with the conventional metrics.

객체지향 프로그램에서 클래스는 수정한 후 재사용하는 화이트박스 재사용과 수정없이 재사용하는 블랙박스 재사용으로 나눌 수 있다. 컴포넌트 기반 소프트웨어 개발 방법론에서의 컴포넌트는 블랙박스 재사용 형태를 띤다. 클래스와 컴포넌트는 절차적인 특성과 객체지향적인 특성을 모두 가지고 있으므로 이를 고려하여 재사용성을 측정해야 한다. 이 논문에서는 클래스와 컴포넌트의 재사용성 측정 모델과 측정 기준을 제안한다. 제안된 모델을 사용하여 측정된 클래스는 화이트박스 재사용이 유리한지 블랙박스 재사용이 유리한지를 판단할 수 있다. 아울러 총평가점수를 산정하여 비교하므로 어느 클래스가 재사용성이 높은지를 알 수 있다.

Reusing software is a promising solution which overcomes the software crisis in the software development environment by improving the software productivity, reliability and maintainability. To develop software, some developers reuse existing softwares, but without an adequate design environment, software reuse would not be applicable. The purpose of this paper is to design and implement the X system, and measure empirically its resuability in the development phases. The development processes of the X system used a software reuse design guidelines within the Object-Oriented Design method and the Ada programming language. In order to measure the resuability, metrics was proposed and applied for each phase of development. The results of this paper address some reusability measurement that may be used as basic data when estimating the amount of reuse for a combined development project of military applications.

객체 지향 방법론을 이용한 소프트웨어의 개발은 최근에 대중적인 개념으로 자리를 잡고 있다. 이러한 객체 지향 개념은 전통적인 구조화 개발 방법론과 많은 차이점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 소프트웨어의 품질 특성을 평가하는 메트릭스도 객체 지향 개념에 맞게 재정의되는 연구들이 많이 이루어지고 있다. 이 논문에서는 이러한 메트릭스를 품질 측정 척도의 관점에서 객체 지향의 핵심 개념으로 평가하였다. 그리고 이를 바탕으로 품질 척도로서의 기능을 잘 발휘하는 메트릭스를 선별 적용하고, 적용한 결과를 사용자에게 해석하여주며, 코딩 스타일도 함께 검증하여서 사용자에게 실질적인 도움이 될 수 있도록 도구를 설계 및 구현하였다.
