Applying Object Oriented Metrics to C#(C Sharp) Programs

Object-oriented technology is becoming increasingly popular in industrial software development environments. This technology helps in the development of a software product of higher quality and lower maintenance costs. Since the traditional software metrics aims at the procedure-oriented software development so it cannot fulfill the requirement of the object-oriented software, as a result a set of new object oriented software metrics came into existence. Object Oriented Metrics are the measurement tools adapted to the Object Oriented paradigm to help manage and foster quality in software development.In this research paper we investigate several object oriented metrics proposed by various researchers. These object oriented metrics are than applied to several C sharp programs. A critical analysis of the results is presented listing the crucial points about the language so that software managers and developers can use this results for building object oriented system in C#.
