Abstract

We present a framework of program slicing based coupling measurements to evaluate software quality. The proposed framework combines the well-known coupling measurement, CBO (coupling between object classes), RFC (response from classes), and MPC (message passing coupling), with slicing based source code analysis. The proposed measures are implemented in our CONCEPT tool, and an initial experimental analysis has been performed to illustrate the applicability of our measurements.
