A Basis of Ontology for Aspect Oriented Metrics

The feature modularization has paved the way for the growth of aspect oriented software development. Aspect Oriented paradigm supports the separation of concerns that are scattered over the system which helps in achieving modularity. Aspect Oriented Software Development encompass software engineering abstractions and complexity at new and different dimensions. As aspect orientation is a comparatively new paradigm, it lacks philosophical basis, as compared to object orientation. Since aspect orientation lacks a theoretical basis as enjoyed by object orientation, there is no clarity over what constitutes an aspect and the best approach to measure and assess the properties of an aspect oriented program. This paper looks at information necessitated to build ontology for aspect oriented quality measurement.
