Abstract
A reliability estimation framework for OO design complexity perspective has been developed in this paper. The proposed framework correlates the object oriented design constructs with complexity and also correlates complexity with reliability. No such framework has been available in the literature that estimates software reliability of OO design by taking complexity into consideration. The framework bridges the gap between object oriented design constructs, complexity and reliability. Framework measures and minimizes the complexity of software design at the early stage of software development life cycle leading to a reliable end product. Reliability and complexity estimation models have been proposed by following the proposed framework. Complexity estimation model has been developed which takes OO design constructs into consideration and proposed reliability estimation models take complexity in consideration for estimating reliability of OO design.
