Effect of package cohesion on evaluation of reusability of aspect oriented systems: A fuzzy approach

Abstract

Reusability is the ability to reuse without significant changes. Software reusability reduces development time, effort and cost. Software reuse is the process of developing new software from legacy software and not starting from scratch. However the predicting software reusability is a difficult process. Aspect oriented software development is a new approach that introduces the concept of aspects for implementing concerns. By applying an aspect oriented approach, issues related to crosscutting concerns can be isolated to increase reusability of the system. However, many research works aimed at accessing the software reusability of object oriented system but it remained unexplored for aspect oriented system. In this paper, reusability of aspect oriented systems is evaluated using package cohesion by following fuzzy logic technique.
