NOC (OO)
Handle: Number of Children
Description: The number of classes derived from a specified class.
Observation: This metric is generated with McCabeIQ 7.1.
Frequency: Frequency is determined by the requirements of each project.
Scale: This is one child - one count.
Range: Unlimited.
Usage: None, currently.
Relationship: Unknown.
Threshold: Unknown.
Validation: None, currently.

Depth (OO)
Handle: Depth
Description: The level for a class. For instance, if a parent has one child the depth for the child is two. Depth indicates at what level a class is located within its class hierarchy. In general, inheritance increases when depth increases.
Observation: This metric is generated with McCabeIQ 7.1.
Frequency: Frequency is determined by the requirements of each project.
Scale: This is one level - one count.
Range: Unlimited.
Usage: None, currently.
Relationship: Unknown.
Threshold: Unknown.
Validation: None, currently.

RFC (OO)
Handle: Response for Class
Description: A count of methods implemented within a class plus the number of methods accessible to an object class due to inheritance. In general, lower values indicate greater polymorphism.
Observation: This metric is generated with McCabeIQ 7.1.
Frequency: Frequency is determined by the requirements of each project.
Scale: This is one method or one accessible method - one count.
Range: Unlimited.
Usage: None, currently.
Relationship: Unknown.
Threshold: Unknown.
Validation: None, currently.

WMC (OO)
Handle: Weighted Methods per Class
Description: A count of methods implemented within a class (rather than all methods accessible within the class hierarchy). In general, lower values indicate greater polymorphism.
Observation: This metric is generated with McCabeIQ 7.1.
Frequency: Frequency is determined by the requirements of each project.
Scale: This is one method - one count.
Range: Unlimited.
Usage: None, currently.
Relationship: Unknown.
Threshold: Unknown.
Validation: None, currently.

CBO (OO)
Handle: Coupling Between Objects (CBO)
Description: The number of distinct non-inheritance-related classes on which a class depends. If a class that is heavily dependent on many classes outside of its hierarchy is introduced into a library, all the classes upon which it depends need to be introduced as well. This may be acceptable, especially if the classes which it references are already part of a class library and are even more fundamental than the specified class.
Observation: This metric is generated with McCabeIQ 7.1.
Frequency: Frequency is determined by the requirements of each project.
Scale: This is one dependency - one count.
Range: Unlimited.
Usage: None, currently.
Relationship: Unknown.
Threshold: Unknown.
Validation: None, currently.

LOCM (OO)
Handle: Lack of Cohesion of Methods (LOCM)
Description: For each data field in a class, the percentage of the methods in the class using that data field; the percentages are averaged then subtracted from 100%. The locm metric indicates low or high percentage of cohesion. If the percentage is low, the class is cohesive. If it is high, it may indicate that the class could be split into separate classes that will individually have greater cohesion.
Observation: This metric is generated with McCabeIQ 7.1.
Frequency: Frequency is determined by the requirements of each project.
Scale: This is unclear.
Range: 0% - 100%
Usage: None, currently.
Relationship: Unknown.
Threshold: Unknown.
Validation: None, currently.

Fan-in (OO)
Handle: fan-in
Description: This is a count of calls by higher modules.
Observation: This metric is generated with McCabeIQ 7.1.
Frequency: Frequency is determined by the requirements of each project.
Scale: This is one call - one count.
Range: Unlimited.
Usage: None, currently.
Relationship: Unknown.
Threshold: Unknown.
Validation: None, currently.

Pub Data (OO)
Handle: Pub Data
Description: The amount of times that a class's public and protected data is accessed. In general, lower values indicate greater encapsulation. It is a measure of encapsulation.
Observation: This metric is generated with McCabeIQ 7.1.
Frequency: Frequency is determined by the requirements of each project.
Scale: This is one access - one count.
Range: Unlimited.
Usage: None, currently.
Relationship: Unknown.
Threshold: Unknown.
Validation: None, currently.

% Pub Data (OO)
Handle: % Pub Data
Description: The percentage of data that is public and protected data in a class. In general, lower values indicate greater encapsulation. It is measure of encapsulation.
Observation: This metric is generated with McCabeIQ 7.1.
Frequency: Frequency is determined by the requirements of each project.
Scale: This is public data/total data.
Range: 0% - 100%.
Usage: None, currently.
Relationship: Unknown.
Threshold: Unknown.
Validation: None, currently.

Dependency on Child (OO) (True/False)
Handle: DOC.
Description: Whether a class is dependent on a descendant.
Observation: This metric is generated with McCabeIQ 7.1.
Frequency: Frequency is determined by the requirements of each project.
Scale: This is True/False.
Range: N/A
Usage: None, currently.
Relationship: Unknown.
Threshold: Unknown.
Validation: None, currently.
