A Comparative Approach of Cohesion and Coupling for Reducing Complexity

Authors(2) :-Vinay Mishra, Rahul Bakshi

Object-oriented technology is becoming increasingly popular in industrial software development environments. This technology helps in the development of a software product of higher quality and lower maintenance costs. Thus, measuring the relationships has become a prerequisite to develop efficient techniques for analysis and maintenance. The extent of cohesion in an object-oriented system has implications for its external quality. In this thesis Cohesion Metrics Tight Class Cohesion (TCC) and Loose Class Cohesion(LCC) on the programs to calculate the cohesion value and compare the result. On the basis of result we differentiate between complexities of inheritance and interface.
