Some Observations based on Comparison of MOOD and CK Software Metrics suites for Object Oriented System

Software metrics measure both quantitative and qualitative aspects of a system. In this paper we have calculated and compared the MOOD and C K metrics suits for object oriented system on a given data set. We have found that encapsulation property of object oriented system is high in MOOD metric suite in comparison to CK metric suites.
