Abstract

Context: There is little empirical knowledge of the effectiveness of the object-oriented paradigm. Objectives: To conduct a systematic review of the literature describing empirical studies of this paradigm. Method: We undertook a Mapping Study of the literature. Results: 138 papers have been identified and classified by topic, form of study involved, and source. Conclusions: The majority of empirical studies of 00 concentrate on metrics, relatively few consider effectiveness. © 2007 IEEE.
