Cohesion and coupling measures for aspect oriented systems

Software metrics aim to measure the inherent complexity of software systems with a view toward predicting the overall project cost and evaluating the quality and effectiveness of the design. Aspect Oriented Software design is an emerging paradigm that provides new mechanisms to support the modularization of concerns, which otherwise would crosscut the OO system decomposition. There are various metrics to measure quality characteristics of object oriented system but very few metrics are for aspect oriented systems. Various Quality Attributes are cohesion, coupling, complexity, size, reusability, changeability, maintainability etc. In this paper we provide the review of quality metrics designed for AOSD depending on the different attributes of quality.
