EFFECTIVE IMPLEMENTATION OF AGILE PRACTICES – OBJECT ORIENTED METRICS TOOL TO IMPROVE SOFTWARE QUALITY

ABSTRACT Maintaining the quality of the software is the major challenge in the process of software development. Software inspections which use the methods like structured walkthroughs and formal code reviews involve careful examination of each and every aspect/stage of software development. In Agile software development, refactoring helps to improve software quality. This refactoring is a technique to improve software internal structure without changing its behaviour. After much study regarding the ways to improve software quality, our research proposes an object oriented software metric tool called “MetricAnalyzer”. This tool is tested on different codebases and is proven to be much useful. KEYWORDS Agile, Refactoring, Metrics, Interpretation, Advic
