Dynamic coupling measurement of distributed object oriented software based on trace events

Abstract

Software engineering describes the group of methods that construct and newlinesupport software products by employing an engineering approach Methods based on newlinemodels and theories are employed by engineering disciplines Specifying a newlinehypothesis designing and performing an experiment to verify its truth and newlineinterpreting the results involved in scientific methods Measuring the variables newlinedifferentiates cases measuring the changes in behavior and measuring the causes newlineand effects are the supportive scientific method measurements After the validity of a newlinemodel or the truth of a theory is confirmed by scientific method the theory is applied newlineto practice by continuously using measurements More visible characteristics and newlinerelationships in estimating the enormity of problems and in shaping a solution to newlineproblems can be obtained by means of effective measurements Coupling analysis is newlineone of the diverse methods used in software system for modeling and measuring the newlinerelationships between components Two components having any type of connection newlineor relationship between them are coupled by coupling analysis Generally the newlinecoupling nature has been categorized into diverse levels or types newline newline
