Aim: Getting information to automatically collect object oriented metrics (OO metrics) in order to assist the comprehension and assessment of software products. Method: A study was developed based on a systematic review and 37 primary studies were selected from 577 papers retrieved in 3 databases. Result: 177 metrics that can be automatically collected were catalogued.In addition, 27 of these were the most referenced. The cataloged metrics were classified according to the quality characteristics which were related; 18 collection tools have been identified. In this way, it was concluded that there is a set of common procedures for collecting OO metrics and the Java and C++ are the languages with the largest number of tools on which is possible to extract metrics.
