摘      要：Software metrics help us to make meaningful estimates for software products and guide us in taking managerial and technical ***,conventional static metrics have been found to be inadequate for modern object-oriented software due to the presence of object-oriented features such as polymorphism,dynamic binding,inheritance and unused *** fact motivates us to focus on dynamic metrics in place of traditional static ***,dynamic metrics are more precise than static metrics as they are able to capture the dynamic behaviour of the software system during *** dynamic metrics are usually obtained from the execution traces of the code or from the executable *** this paper,advantages of dynamic metrics over static metrics are discussed and then a survey of the existing dynamic metrics is carried *** metrics are characterized into different categories such as dynamic coupling metrics, dynamic cohesion *** end of the paper,potential research challenges and opportunities in the field of dynamic metrics are identified.
