Abstract/Description
Current use of inheritance has illustrated that the introduction of conceptual inconsistencies is possible in a class hierarchy. This paper discusses the reasons why
complete method redefinition infringes the essence of inheritance. A redefinition metric set is proposed and practical experiments demonstrate that the results
obtained permit the detection of inheritance design problems. Appropriate design decisions are suggested.
