ABSTRACT
This paper considers the use of interface complexity metrics for the quantitative
analysis of the quality of software design performed using object-oriented de-
velopment methods.
The techniques considered can be applied before coding is
started, as part of the design review process, or when coding is complete.
The
use of complexity metrics for reusability assessment is also considered.
INTRODUCTION
Object-oriented analysis and design is relatively new, and many organisations
are now attempting to introduce this style of development.
Introducing a new
development approach is fraught with risk, especially if the organisation or the
individual developers have little experience with the new approach.
One way

created designs.
