ASSESS JAVA PROGRAMS

Abstract: Software quality is crucial to the development of software systems. There are many defined metrics used to assess software quality. CK and LK are well-known metrics used for measuring the design of object oriented programs. In this research, a system has been developed to assess and mark Java programs based on CK and LK metrics. New algorithms are introduced and used for assessment. A weight is assigned to each software quality factor to reflect its importance. The assessment is done to each program at the class level. The system has been tested on different Java students programs at the University of Jordan and in each case the system successfully assesses the programs and finds their weaknesses.
