A new metrics set for evaluating testing efforts for object-oriented programs
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Software metrics proposed and used for procedural paradigm have been found inadequate for object oriented software products, mainly because of the distinguishing features of the object oriented paradigm such as inheritance and polymorphism. Several object oriented software metrics have been described in the literature. These metrics are goal driven in the sense that they are targeted towards specific software qualities. We propose a new set of metrics for object oriented programs; this set is targeted towards estimating the testing efforts for these programs. The definitions of these metrics are based on the concepts of object orientation and hence are independent of the object oriented programming languages. The new metrics set has been critically compared with three other metrics sets published in the literature.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
