Description: "Once in a while, a potentially classic book comes along- one that is built not only to last but also to have a lasting impact on its field. In this case, Scott Whitmire's text is likely to offer significant influences on the very foundational ideas underpinning object technology." - from the Foreword by Brian Henderson-Sellers Director, Centre for Object Technology Applications and Research (Victoria, Australia)"A thought-provoking presentation of both the foundations of measurement theory and Whitmire's experience-driven approach to adapting measurement technology to support the design of high-quality, object-oriented software." - Charlie Cox, Senior Consultant, ISPI, Inc.Based on a thorough study of measurement theory, category theory, and a strong mathematic foundation, Scott Whitmire presents his own formal model of objects- a ground-breaking development for object-oriented design measurement. Using this model, or any other formal model, you can create a custom metric for any design characteristic you can describe through careful observation. This indispensable book guides you through the development process for nine unique design characteristics, including a controversial new "quality of abstraction" characteristic, which combines Sufficiency, Completeness, and Cohesion to help you determine the extent to which components include all the features required of your design.With Object-Oriented Design Measurement, you'll get:
