Coupling Measurement in Aspect-Oriented Systems

概要

Coupling is an internal software attribute that can be used to indicate the degree of interdependence among the components of a software system. Coupling is thought to be a desirable goal in software construction, leading to better values for external attributes such as maintainability reusability, and reliability. Aspect-oriented software development (AOSD) is a new technique to support separation of concerns in software development. In aspect-oriented systems, the basic components are aspects or classes, which consist of attributes (aspect or class instance variables) and those modules such as advice, introduction, pointcuts, and methods. Thus, in aspect-oriented systems, the coupling is mainly about the degree of interdependence among aspects and/or classes. To test this hypothesis, good coupling measures for aspect-oriented systems are needed. In this paper we propose a coupling measure suite for assessing the coupling in aspect-oriented systems. To this end, we first identify four types of interactions between aspects and classes, and then based on these interactions, we define some coupling measures between aspects and classes.
