This chapter presents the analysis of ten recently proposed object-oriented metrics based on cognitive informatics. The metrics based on cognitive informatics use cognitive weight. Cognitive weight is the representation of the understandability of the piece of software that evaluates the difficulty experienced in comprehending and/or performing the piece of software. Development of metrics based on Cognitive Informatics (CI) is a new area of research, and from this point of view, for the analysis of these metrics, it is important to know their acceptability from other existing evaluation and validation criteria. This chapter presents a critical review on existing object-oriented cognitive complexity measures. In addition, a comparative study based on some selected attributes is presented.

Software measurement helps to quantify the quality and the effectiveness of software to find areas of improvement and to provide information needed to make appropriate decisions. In the recent studies, software metrics are widely used for quality assessment. These metrics are divided into two categories: syntactic and semantic. A literature review shows that syntactic ones are widely discussed and are generally used to measure software internal attributes like complexity. It also shows a lack of studies that focus on measuring external attributes like using internal ones. This chapter presents a thorough analysis of most quality measurement concepts. Moreover, it makes a comparative study of object-oriented syntactic metrics to identify their effectiveness for quality assessment and in which phase of the development process these metrics may be used. As reliability is an external attribute, it cannot be measured directly. In this chapter, the authors discuss how reliability can be measured using its correlation with syntactic metrics.

In today’s fast pace world, large scale system design is sought for, and to fulfill this need Object-oriented paradigm is the solution. It includes various distinguished features that are not involved in their conventional analogues. Example: Encapsulation, Polymorphism, Object instantiation, Persistence, Synchronization, Message Passing, Inheritance, and Dynamic Binding etc. Hence, Testing for such programs becomes even more tedious than that for stereotyped programs. In this paper we have discussed about the testing being carried out in the Object Oriented domain. In order to conform to this, several new methodologies have been proposed like Scenario based testing, Deep structural testing, Surface structure testing, and fault-based techniques.
