To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Viewpoints: The number of methods and the complexity of methods involved is an indicator of how much time and effon is required to develop and maintain the object The larger the number of methods in an object, the greater the potential impact on children, since children will inherit all the methods defined in the object Objects with large numbers of methods are likely to be more application specific, limiting the possibility of reuse. Metric 2: Depth of Inheritance Tree (DIT) Definition: Depth ...of inheritance of the class is the DIT metric for the class. Theoretical basis: DIT relates to the notion of scope of properties. DIT is a measure of how many ancestor classes can potentially affect this class. Viewpoints: The deeper a class is in the hierarchy, the greater the number of methods it is likely to inherit, making it more complex. Deeper trees constitute greater design complexity, since more methods and classes are involved It is useful to have a measure of how deep a particular class is in the hierarchy so that the class can be designed with reuse of inherited methods.
