Improving the Design of Cohesion and Coupling Metrics for Aspect Oriented Software Development

Software metrics play an important role in determining the quality of software. There are various attributes of quality that need to be understood for developing better quality software. These factors include coupling, cohesion, complexity, maintainability, testability etc. Hence metrics are required to calculate the values for all these quality attributes. This study focuses on developing metrics for better calculation of coupling and cohesion values. Over the recent years, Object Oriented Programming System (OOPS) has become popular and completely replaced the Procedural Oriented Programming. OOPs implementing complex software systems and become great success in modeling. But OOPs also has some limitations like in the system decomposition there are some functionalities cannot be assigned to single module. There is one paradigm that enhances software design and promotes reusability called Aspect Oriented Paradigm (AOP).So we focus on several object oriented metrics and find how Aspect affect these metrics.
