Predicting maintainability of object-oriented software using metric threshold

This study presents the empirical investigation into maintainability of software using Chidamber and Kemmerer Metric suite. The study used metric threshold to propose the model for predicting maintainability of object-oriented software. Two geospatial software systems were used to identify the exten...
