-=== Metrics definitions ​===+====== POM ======
  
-ACAIC Ancestor Class-Attribute Import Coupling +POM stands for Primitives, Operations, Metrics and is a framework built to compute software metrics on PADL models. A paper introducing POM has been published by [[http://​www.ptidej.net/​publications/​Author/​ZAIDI-F.php|Zaidi,​ Guéhéneuc,​ and Sahraoui]] and can be used as reference. Metrics can be a several kinds: 
-ACMIC Ancestors Class-Method Import Coupling +  * Unary or binary, depending on whether they take as input one or two [[padl|IFirstClassEntity(ies)]];​ 
-AID Average Inheritance Depth of an entity +  * Context dependent or independent,​ depending on whether they can be computed by considering given [[padl|IFirstClassEntity(ies)]] independently of the rest of the model.

 +===== Metrics Computation ===== 
 + 
 +Computing POM metrics using PADL is made easy by the helper class ''​pom.helper.MetricsGenerator''​. After having installed CPL, PADL, and POM, just go into the ''​POM Tests''​ project and have a look at this class. It provides a main method with snippets of code to call one of the three methods: 
 +   * ''​computeMetricsFromDirectory''​ 
 +   * ''​computeMetricsFromEclipse''​ 
 +   * ''​computeMetricsFromJARs''​ 
 +which can be used to compute automatically metrics from various input sources. Also have a look at the constant array listing the metrics that must be computed or avoided: ''​METRICS_TO_AVOID''​ and ''​METRICS_TO_COMPUTE''​. As other repositories,​ POM makes it easy [[repositories|to access the different kinds of metrics]].
