Abstract

XOOM, a tool framework to support language independent experimentation with metrics measuring object-oriented product attributes on source-code level is presented. The framework consists of three layers: The frontend is responsible for parsing different object-oriented languages, establishing a repository of program structure information which represents the core layer. The backend of the tool consists of an extensible set of measurement routines operating on the repository.
