Abstract
Main aim of Software Engineering is to increase quality and maintain Software Product. Inheritance reflects the degree of reusability of existing classes and reuse increases productivity. Most Cohesion Metric tool do not consider inherited elements while measuring cohesion but we can measure design quality by including the concept of inheritance in Cohesion metrics. In this paper values of all cohesion metrics (LCOM1, LCOM2, LCOM3, LCOM4, LCOM5, CO, TCC and LCC) is calculated including the concept of inheritance for Single, Multiple, Multilevel and Hierarchical Inheritance and compare results to determine design complexity of various types of Inheritances.
