Abstract


This work presents a set of metrics to be obtained from object-oriented framework based applications. The metrics can be extracted automatically from framework and application UML design specifications by a developed tool and are pointed to help application developers as well as produce a feedback useful for framework evaluation. A second tool was developed to support metric browsing because the significant amount of information obtained in an automatic analysis.
Keywords: Object-Oriented framework, framework use support, object-oriented development, software reuse
