In this approach, we propose criteria which can assess the quality of
C+ + classes, developed using ADTs and inheritance features in object-
oriented programming environment. Proposed criteria consist of two par
ts: one is module strength, the other is coupling which have character
istics of C + + classes with ADTs and inheritance mechanism. These cri
teria can be applied to assess the quality of the components written i
n C+ + before registering into the library.
