Abstract
Software engineering metrics is an important feature in the software management functions of project planning and project evaluation. Researchers have developed various metrics for object oriented software development environment as there has been an extensive use of object oriented methods in software development. Object oriented programming requires a different approach in design and implementation than that in structured programming. In addition to this, as objects are the fundamental building blocks for the object oriented programming rather than algorithm, the approach of software engineering metrics for the object oriented environment should be different from the functional programming environment. Hence, object oriented paradigm results in new relationships within module and among other software modules. Metrics developed for structured programming do not account for these new relationships and may be insufficient for use in object oriented environment. In this context, this paper reviews various software engineering metrics for the object oriented development environment in the literature.
