Response to 'More comments on: A cohesion measure for object-oriented classes'

چکیده
The authors insist that monotonicity is a necessary property of a good cohesion metric and the violation of the monotonicity property limits the application of CBMC. They also state that the augmented CBMC can also be used as a guideline for quality evaluation and restructuring of poorly designed classes. This paper raises the question about the necessity of monotonicity by analyzing the reason that causes CBMC to violate the monotonicity property. In addition, we give a detailed description of the restructuring procedure based on CBMC. Copyright c © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

S Conceptual Cohesion of Classes in Object Oriented Systems
Cohesion measures in Object-oriented software reflect particular interpretations, High cohesion positively impacts understanding, reuse and maintenance. This paper proposes a new measure based on analysis of the unstructured information embedded in the source code, such as comments and identifiers, we have the existing applications based on using the only the structural information from the sou...
متن کاملFault Prediction OO Systems Using the Conceptual Cohesion of Classes
High cohesion is desirable property in software systems to achieve reusability and maintainability. In this project we are measures for cohesion in Object-Oriented (OO)[10] software reflect particular interpretations of cohesion and capture different aspects of it. In existing approaches the cohesion is calculate from the structural information for example method attributes and references. In c...
متن کاملImproving Class Cohesion Measurement: Towards a Novel Approach Using Hierarchical Clustering
Class cohesion is considered as one of the most important object-oriented software attributes. High cohesion is, in fact, a desirable property of software. Many different metrics have been suggested in the last several years to measure the cohesion of classes in object-oriented systems. The class of structural object-oriented cohesion metrics is the most investigated category of cohesion metric...
متن کاملEmpirical Exploration for the Correlation between Class Object-Oriented Connectivity-Based Cohesion and Coupling
Attributes and methods are the basic contents of an object-oriented class. The connectivity among these class members and the relationship between the class and other classes play an important role in determining the quality of an object-oriented system. Class cohesion evaluates the degree of relatedness of class attributes and methods, whereas class coupling refers to the degree to which a cla...
متن کاملA cohesion measure for object-oriented classes
In object-oriented systems, cohesion refers to the degree of the relatedness of the members in a class and strong cohesion has been recognized as a highly desirable property of classes. We note that the existing cohesion measures do not take into account some characteristics of classes, and thus often fail to properly reflect the cohesiveness of classes. To cope with such a problem, we propose ...
