Abstract

Owing to the growing diffusion of the object-oriented paradigm and the need to keep the process of software development under control, industries are looking for metrics/indicators capable of evaluating system evolution to control quality, reusability, maintainability, etc. Some new metrics are proposed for monitoring system development and maintenance. These metrics are used with a set of histograms to give a clear characterization of the system under development. Histograms call be profitably used to detect critical conditions during the system life-cycle. The semantics of these histograms has been validated against several projects: an example is also reported.
