Abstract
This chapter presents the analysis of ten recently proposed object-oriented metrics based on cognitive informatics. The metrics based on cognitive informatics use cognitive weight. Cognitive weight is the representation of the understandability of the piece of software that evaluates the difficulty experienced in comprehending and/or performing the piece of software. Development of metrics based on Cognitive Informatics (CI) is a new area of research, and from this point of view, for the analysis of these metrics, it is important to know their acceptability from other existing evaluation and validation criteria. This chapter presents a critical review on existing object-oriented cognitive complexity measures. In addition, a comparative study based on some selected attributes is presented.

Using Games to Teach Design Patterns and Computer Graphics
Metrics are a set of parameters used to perform assessment of a product or process meant to be measured. Software metrics are commonly applied to the software engineering process or the artifacts derived from them. The object-oriented metrics targeted in this chapter are part of a set of metrics proposed by Chidamber and Kemerer (1994), which are meant to give some quantitative values over a class diagram.
