Abstract: With a general purpose of promoting the research and development of flexible softwares, and based on the summarization of the flexibility study and the analysis of the features of flexible softwares, a new definition of software flexibility is presented. In light of the object-oriented technology and the features and definition, this paper also establishes the model of object-oriented software flexibility. The model consists of four profiles, which are the relative adaptability, ease operability, the response rate and the cost ratio of the software. To evaluate the flexibility more objectively and operable, each profile is further decomposed into a lot of factors and each factor has been defined with its metric methods raised.

Key words: Obect-oriented, Software flexibility, Metric, Feature, Metric indices

摘要： 为促进柔性软件的开发和研究，在总结柔性研究的基础上，通过分析柔性软件的特征提出了新的软件柔性的定义，并结合面向对象的技术给出了面向对象的软件柔性度量模型，该模型包括有效适应性、易用性、响应速率和成本比率4个侧面。为了使度量客观、具有操作性，对每一个侧面又进一步细化为若个要素，并具体定义了每一个要素的度量方法。
