DynaMetrics: a runtime metric-based analysis tool for object-oriented software systems

Many Runtime/Dynamic metric suites for object-oriented software systems have been devised over the past decade. This paper introduces a new dynamic metric-based evaluation and analysis tool for Java and C++ software called DynaMetrics that is capable of evaluating and analyzing all the major dynamic metrics known till date. DynaMetrics also compares them with their static counterparts in order to find the usefulness of individual metric. The paper is part of our ongoing research on runtime/dynamic metrics for object-oriented software systems.
