This document discusses measurement and quality in object-oriented design. It outlines that there is no perfect software design and flaws can impact quality attributes like fixability and maintainability. While object-oriented design metrics can help quantify aspects of design quality, individual metrics do not provide enough context about the root cause of issues. The thesis aims to bridge the gap between qualitative and quantitative design evaluations by developing goal-driven methods to better interpret measurement results and provide more relevant insights into potential problems in object-oriented software design.
