A Review on Coupling and Cohesion Metrics
نویسنده
چکیده
Software metrics are used to check and evaluate various aspects of the complexity of a software product. Coupling and Cohesion are considered to be the most important attributes. The increasing need for software quality measurements has led to extensive research into software metrics and the development of software metric tools. Many Software Metrics have been proposed for object oriented paradigms to measure various attributes like complexity, cohesion, software quality, and productivity. As object oriented analysis and design appears to be at the forefront of software engineering technologies, many different object-oriented coupling and cohesion metrics have been developed. To maintain high quality software, developers’ choice is always low coupled and highly cohesive design. The aim of the paper is to reinforce the existing coupling and cohesion metrics specifically used in object oriented environment, to analyze their significance in software development, expose their limitations and some suggestions for further investigations. Keywords—Dependencies, Static and dynamic Coupling and Cohesion.

A Review on Determining Cohesion and Coupling Based Object Oriented Metrics
Object Oriented (OO) metrics play a key role in determining the efficiency of the code being developed under OO approaches. Cohesion and coupling are the widely used measures applied for the determination of important factors including reusability, maintainability and readability. There exists many Cohesion and Coupling based OO metrics making it difficult to choose the appropriate one. Moreove...
متن کاملA Quantitative Evaluation of Maintainability of Software Architecture Styles
Proper decisions play a crucial role in any software architecture design process. An important decision of design stage is the selection of a suitable software architecture style. Lack of investigation on the quantitative impact of architecture styles on software quality attributes is the main problem in using such styles. Consequently, the use of architecture styles in designing is based on th...
متن کاملClass Cohesion Metrics in Object Oriented Systems
In order to improve the quality of an application during the development process, developers use several metrics. These metrics measure the different software attributes such as cohesion, coupling and complexity. To measure the class cohesion several class cohesion metrics have been introduced till date. Cohesion is measured during the design phase to predict software quality. A high cohesive m...
متن کاملReview and Evaluation of Cohesion and Coupling Metrics at Package and Subsystem Level
Cohesion and coupling metrics at package and subsystem level play a crucial role in guiding software packaging (partitioning) and analyzing the maintainability and reusability of software. There has been a number of attempts to propose frameworks to assess the cohesion and coupling metrics at class level. A little work has been done at a higher level. In this paper, we survey the existing cohes...
متن کاملCohesion and coupling measures for aspect oriented systems
Software metrics aim to measure the inherent complexity of software systems with a view toward predicting the overall project cost and evaluating the quality and effectiveness of the design. Aspect Oriented Software design is an emerging paradigm that provides new mechanisms to support the modularization of concerns, which otherwise would crosscut the OO system decomposition. There are various ...
