Title
Coupling And Cohesion (Towards A Valid Metrics Suite For Object-Oriented Analysis And Design)
Abstract
The best known OO metrics are the suite of six proposed by MIT researchers. Of these six, three have problems in their definitions, one seriously (LCOM or lack of cohesion of methods). Here, this suite of metrics is evaluated from a mathematical point of view and errors in the definition of CBO (coupling between object classes) and LCOM removed. In addition, a totally new formulation for the concept of 'lack of cohesion' at the method level is proposed. Illustrative examples are used throughout.
