				cam & cohesion amongst classes & summation of number of different

				in a class number and $\mu(a)$  is the number of methods accessing an

				$lcom3=((\frac{1}{a} \sum, j^a \mu(a, j)) - m)/ (1-m)$.

				loc & lines of code &\\\hline
				max\, cc & maximum McCabe & maximum McCabe's cyclomatic complexity seen
				in class\\\hline
				mfa & functional abstraction & number of methods inherited by a class
				plus number of methods accessible by member methods of the
				class\\\hline

				fields) whose types are user defined classes\\\hline

				nDefects & raw defect counts & Numeric: number of defects found in post-release bug-tracking systems.\\
