Reengineering Of Education Institute And Coupling Measurement
This paper is based on reengineering of Education
institutes in such a way that coupling risk
should be less as compared to existing systems.
Here, we will measure the complexity (based on
coupling factor) of modules during reengineering
of modules design. As we know that the
coupling is one of the properties with most
influence on maintenance, as it has a direct effect
on maintainability.
In general while any module is reengineered,
one of the goals of OO software designers is to
keep the coupling of system as low as possible.
Classes of the system that are strongly coupled are
most likely to be affected by changes and bugs
from other classes. As the coupling between the
classes of the system is increased, it result in
increased error density.
The work described in this paper measure the
coupling not only through classes of the system,
but also through the Packages that are included
during reengineering of the module design.
Coupling between packages is the manner and degree
of interdependence between them. Theoretically, every
package is a stand-alone unit, but in reality packages
depend on many other packages as either they require
services from other packages or provide services to
other packages. Thus, coupling between packages
cannot be completely avoided but can only be
controlled. The coupling between packages is an
important factor that effects the quality or other
external attributes of software, e.g., reliability,
maintainability, reusability, fault-tolerance etc.
In this paper, some measures are proposed for
measurement of coupling at the package-level in
order to achieve good quality software systems.
In this paper, we propose metrics for measuring the
coupling between packages in a software system.
