Managing the component-based software engineering with metrics

Describes the management of software development component characteristics, such as quality and/or complexity. We define a key problem in software development change: the software development complexity and the methods to reduce this. In component-based software engineering, "component-based" metrics are also necessary in our new object-oriented measurement framework. Tools for the support of the software measurement process are classified as computer-assisted measurement and evaluation (CAME) tools. Some aspects of Java software development measurement and evaluation are discussed.
