- •
We developed the metrics based on Martin's principles and indirect responsibility.
- •
The new developed indirect coupling metrics are tested and validated.
- •
The experimental study includes seven large well-known open source systems.
- •
The new metrics are highly correlated to maintenance and testing effort.
- •
The metrics can in early design help predict maintenance and testing effort.
