In software engineering, almost for the past three and a half decades, software measurements and metrics have been the subject of a variety of criticisms and many software metrics are proposed and given with inadequate methods for implementation and verification of results. All the engineering systems except software engineering have used the measure and measurement systems in day to day activities for the production of their product. In order to measure process efficiency and product effectiveness in software engineering, this research paper introduces the procedure based metrics system for software measurement and proposes complete and comprehensive object-oriented design metrics for measuring the quality of the design. The proposed set has been formulated drawing upon the more significant properties and attributes. The proposed six metrics set will be more comprehensive and complete than that of any one of the previous sets. The set of design quality attributes measured by the suite of metrics are functionality, understandability, effectiveness, flexibility, extendibility and reusability. The set of design properties measured using the metrics are encapsulation, inheritance, coupling, cohesion and complexity. Each proposed metric has a range of 0 to 1 and desired values for measuring the design and hence, this is result-oriented metrics. The computation formulae for design metrics have been proposed. The proposed metrics set and methodology is complete since it is a result based metrics set. When compared with previously defined metrics set, this metrics introduces improvements in methodology of execution and gives the solution for the usage of metrics in software engineering.
