Integrity Evaluation Model for Object Oriented Software: A Developer Perspective

Software integrity stands as a paramount element in software development. Evaluating integrity through design properties proves more fitting, and its validation underscores the genuine impact of structural and functional aspects in object-oriented design software. Integrity serves as a crucial quality indicator, and gauging it opens avenues for streamlining and enhancing the maintenance process. Software integrity offers valuable insights throughout the phases of design, coding, testing, and quality assurance. Both researchers and practitioners emphasize the desirability and significance of the integrity aspect in developing secure and robust software. Despite its vital role in the software development process, integrity is often inadequately managed. This paper underscores the necessity and significance of integrity during the design phase and endeavors to establish a substantial correlation between integrity and design properties. In light of this, a model is proposed for evaluating integrity in object-oriented design through the establishment of multiple linear regressions. Ultimately, the proposed model undergoes validation through experimental trials.
