The design metrics developed by the Design Metrics team at Ball State University are a suite of metrics that can be applied during the design phase of software development. The benefit of the metrics lies in the fact that the metrics can be applied early in the software development cycle. The suite includes the external design metric De,the internal design metric D27 D(G), the design balance metric DB, and the design connectivity metric DC.The suite of design metrics have been applied to large-scale industrial software as well as student projects. Bell Communications Research of New Jersey has made available a software system that can be used to apply design metrics to large-scale telecommunications software. This thesis presents the suite of design metrics and attempts to determine if the characteristics of telecommunications software are accurately reflected in the conventions used to compute the metrics. / Department of Computer Science
