Metric Models for Object Oriented Frameworks

Abstract

Software Reuse by frameworks attempts to capture, document and specify the architectural design experiences in form of a semi-code. It seems that high level reuse by design patterns and frameworks are more promising than other reuse techniques. We define a possible framework for metric models for object-oriented frameworks that can be used by an organization easily and further newer metric models can be added herein easily. The whole thing is divided into Metric models for a domain, Metric models for a framework for a domain, Metric models for applications (wherein this framework’s reuse is expected) and Metric models to evaluate the success of framework-based development.
