“…In [28], Kumar et al projected a new framework of coupling metrics by extending the work of Bartolomei et al [25], Briand et al [26] and Arisholm et al [27] frameworks. They recognized the various types of connection between couplings such as attribute type, parameter type, attribute reference, operation invocation, inheritance and high level association.…”

Software reusability is very important and crucial attribute to evaluate the system software. Due to incremental growth of software development, the software reusability comes under attention of many researcher and practitioner. It is pretty easier to reuse the software than developing the new software. Software reusability reduces the development time, cost and effort of software product. Software reusability define the depth to which a module can be reused again with very little or no modification. However the prediction of this quality attribute is cumbersome process. Aspect oriented software development is new approach that introduce the concerns to overcome the issues with modular programming and object oriented programming. However many researcher worked on accessing the software reusability on object oriented system but the software reusability of aspect oriented system is not completely explored. This paper explores the various metric that affects the reusability of aspect oriented software and estimate it using fuzzy logic approach.

“…Grover et al [7] defined unified/generic AOP framework for changeability measurement using same terminologies and framework mentioned in [19]. Kumar et al [20,21] also defined new unified/generic framework for measuring coupling and complexity of AO systems. In this framework, they included Hyper/J, one of the popular AOP language, besides Java, AspectJ and CaesarJ.…”

Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) is an emerging technique that provides a mechanism to clearly encapsulate and implement concerns that crosscut other modules. It is claimed that this technique improves code modularization and therefore reduces complexity of object-oriented programs (OOP). Most of the proposed complexity measurement frameworks for AOP are for AspectJ programming language. In this paper, a generalized framework for assessment of complexity of aspect-oriented (AO) systems, has been defined that takes into account three, the most well known families of available AOP languages, AspectJ, CaesarJ and Hyper/J. In order to automate complexity measurement, a tool has been developed using fuzzy logic, in which some set of rules have been defined as rule base. Using this tool, complexity of majority of AOP languages can be measured, which will further help in the measurement of external software qualities, such as maintainability, reusability, adaptability and understandability.

“…The main characteristics of ISO/IEC 9126 are functionality, maintainability, usability, efficiency, reliability, and portability. Researchers and practitioners have proposed a large number of new measures and assessment frameworks for quality design principles such as coupling [2], cohesion [3] and complexity [4]. Cohesion is the degree of relationship between the members of a module such as class in object-oriented technology.…”

Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) is an emerging technique that provides a means to clearly encapsulate and implement aspects that crosscut other modules. However, despite an interesting body of work for measuring cohesion in Aspect-Oriented (AO) Systems, there is poor understanding of cohesion in the context of AOP. Most of the proposed cohesion assessment frameworks and metrics for AOP are for AspectJ programming language. In this paper, we have defined a generic cohesion framework that takes into account, two well-known families of available AOP languages viz, AspectJ and CaesarJ. This unified framework contributes in better understanding of cohesion in AO technology, which can contribute in (i) comparing measures and their potential use, (ii) integrating different existing measures, which examine the same concept in different ways, and (iii) defining new cohesion metrics, which in turn permits the analysis and comparison of Java, AspectJ and CaesarJ implementations. Correlation analysis between cohesion and changeability has also been performed. The correlation factor value indicates that cohesion cannot be used as an indicator of changeability.
