Abstract
The component-based development methodology becomes famous as the new way for reuse. The goal of the reuse is improvement of quality, productivity and independence on the software development. For the improvement in the quality of a component-based system, it is necessary to research component metrics in the early phase of a component development. Hence, in this paper, we propose new component metrics using the information of a component analysis phase. Those are CCI(Complexity of Component Interface) and LCC(Lack Cohesion of Component interface). CCI indicates a difficulty about comprehension, modification, management, use of interface. LCC indicates a functional independence about how strong the elements are related with. Therefore, it is possible to predict and manage the quality of a component to be developed. Predicting a lowness of complexity and highness of cohesion as an independent functional unit by a component interface in the early phase of a component development, we can expect the improvement in the quality of a system.
