“…It was observed that each of these characteristics, either have positive or negative impact on the core contributors that affect extensibility of object oriented software. After an exhaustive review of available literature on the topic [2,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,22,17,18,20], the relation between object oriented software characteristics and extensibility core contributors (as depicted in Figure1) has been established. Based on the relationship shown below, a model has been developed (equation 3) for estimating extensibility core contributors.…”

A system is said to be extensible; if any modifications can be made to any of the existing system functionalities in addition of new functionalities with minimum impact. To attain extensibility, it has to be scheduled properly starting from the initial stage of the system development life cycle. Keeping in mind all the probable upcoming modifications to be made, the software designer should select the appropriate design patterns and finish the design for the application. As soon as the application design is finished, it must be examined to make sure that the application is extensible. This research paper recommends a research framework for Extensibility evaluation process and does an extensive review on extensibility of object oriented software. A metrics based Extensibility Evaluation Model for Object Oriented Design" has been recommended by creating the relationship in the middle of design properties. Consecutively researchers justifying the model correlation with the help of statistical measures, which shows that for all the System, Coupling, Cohesion, Inheritance, Polymorphism are highly correlated with Extensibility. The developed model has been authenticated by experimental tryout. Finally, it incorporates the empirical validation of the extensibility evaluation model as the author"s most important contribution. In Conclusion, Hypothesis testing is performed to test the significance of r (Correlation Coefficient) using 2-tailed test for a 95% confidence interval with different degrees of freedom. As a result, the researcher"s claim of correlating Extensibility with Coupling, Cohesion, Inheritance and Polymorphism at design phase is statistically extremely justified.

“…However, unhappiness with internal quality standards may not necessarily outcome in low rank of effectiveness although it is generally expected. In that case, it is likeable that, regardless of what internal Estimations designate, the concluding judge for the effectiveness of the delivered software is the programmer [19,21,22].…”

Abstract-Effective estimation is very necessary for efficient design of an object oriented software. Software developers need to read and understand source programs and other software artifacts. The increase in size and complexity of software considerably affects a number of quality attributes, especially effectiveness and testability. False analysis frequently leads to ambiguities, misunderstanding and hence to faulty development results. It is very tough to obtain an understandable view on all the probable factors that have positive impact on software testability. Researchers, practitioners and quality controllers have always argued that effectiveness should be measured as a key attribute in order to promise the quality software. Calculating effectiveness at source code level directs to late arrival of desired information. An exact measure of software quality fully depends on effectiveness estimation. This paper shows the results of a systematic literature review conducted to collect related evidence on effectiveness estimation of object oriented software. In this paper, our objective is to find the known complete and comprehensive software effectiveness estimation model and related framework for estimating the effectiveness of object oriented software at an initial stage of development life cycle.

“…Dromey's quality model [22] and Testability Quantification Framework [9] have been considered as a basis to develop the Metric Based Testability Estimation Model for Object Oriented Design. The relative significance of individual identified testability factors that have major impact on testability estimation at design phase is weighted proportionally.…”

The quality factor of class diagram is critical because it has significant influence on overall quality of the product, delivered finally. Testability has been recognized as a key factor to software quality. Estimating testability at design stage is a criterion of crucial significance for software designers to make the design more testable. Taking view of this fact, this paper identifies testability factors namely effectiveness and reusability and establishes the correlation among testability, effectiveness and reusability and justifies the correlation with the help of statistical measures. Moreover study developed metric based testability estimation model and developed model has been validated using experimental test. Subsequently, research integrates the empirical validation of the developed model for high level acceptance. Finally a hypothesis test performs by the two standards to test the significance of correlation.
