Research Abstract

Many metrics have been proposed for measuring software quality, but none have been able to provide a comprehensive evaluation, nor have they been used widely. This research realized a practical and reusable framework which achieves effective measurement and evaluation of program source code quality, solves many of the problems of earlier frameworks, and applies to programs in the C programming language. Moreover software patterns capturing know-how in developing and maintaining the framework have been captured and utilized with a newly developed reuse support system.
