Author :
Fioravanti, Fabrizio
Abstract :
In this paper an abstract of the Ph.D. thesis discussed at the University of Florence by the author is presented. The main focus of the thesis was in the identification and validation, both theoretical and empirical, of Object-Oriented metrics for complexity, and then, effort estimation. Complexity/effort metrics have been validated against test cases for verifying effectiveness of the estimation for evaluating development and maintenance effort
