Folks,
I am doing some research in the area of object-oriented metrics.
Specifically, I am interested in any metrics or metric techniques you
have used, or know about, which which are highly appropriate or unique
to the object-oriented paradigm.
I am interested in all phases of the software life-cycle, all
personnel areas (e.g., managerial as well as technical),
non-life-cycle activities (e.g., domain analysis), and in support
areas (e.g., object-oriented databases).
Examples of what I am looking for include:
- typical size of a class in source code instructions in a
given language (yes, yes, yes -- there are many ways to
define this, I know)
- the typical amount of time necessary for a designer to
design a class
- the numbers, kinds, and distribution of reusable objects and
classes at an installation
- the amount of time (and other resources necessary to
transition an organization to the object-oriented paradigm)
- project and product estimation techniques for efforts using
an object-oriented approach
- size and timing considerations when using an object-oriented
database versus a relational database
- size and performance of a system created in an
object-oriented manner versus similar characteristics for
systems created using other paradigms
- any other object-oriented metrics, or metric techniques,
that you can think of, or have experience with
Please direct all response to me. I will post a summary to this
newsgroup. If you have any questions, suggestions, or comments, feel
free to contact me.
