Abstract

Software quality assessment can cut costs significantly from early development stages. On the other hand quality assessment helps in taking development decisions, checking the effect of fault corrections, estimating maintenance effort. Fault density based quality assessment relying on statical source code analyzers need language specific metrics in order to quantify quality as a number. Thus, we identified and defined informally a suite of Java metrics in order to accomplish our quality assessment goal.

Keywords
