The component-based development methodology becomes famous as the reuse technology for independence and productivity of software development It is necessary component metrics for component-based systems, because It should be measurable to improve the quality of the software. Hence, in this paper, we propose component cohesion and coupling metrics which is reflected in characteristics of component. The operation use value is calculated by the information of classes interface commonly uses to offer the component's service. And, the operation similarity value is calculated by the operations use value. Component cohesion and coupling is calculated by the operation similarity and based of the information which is extracted in the analysis phase. And, we examine the necessity of component metrics in comparison with object-oriented metrics.

When constructing a component based system, It is understood that identifying reusable and independent business components is of utmost importance. However, according to conventional component based developing methodologies, most of developers depend on their experience and/or intuition for identification of business components. Furthermore, there are no criteria to evaluate whether the identified business components are more independently defined or not. Therefore, we propose a component identification metrics to apply to component properties In order to complement the difficulties of identifying business components through developers' experience and/or intuition. The metrics defined are the criteria for identifying the business Components and/or for evaluating the Identified components. We propose both a cohesion metric, and a coupling metric, to which component properties are applied, wherein those properties can be understood by high cohesion in, and low coupling between, components. Moreover, we propose an independence metric that can evaluate the degree of independence for a particular component by ratio of the cohesion and coupling of components. The metrics that we propose are applied to case study which demonstrates the identification of more independent business components and the validity of our metrics.

The component-based development methodology aims at the high state of abstraction and the reusability with components larger than classes. It is indispensible to measure the component so as to improve the quality of the component-based system and the individual component. And, the quality of the component should be improved through putting the results into the process of the development. So, it is necessary to study the component metric which can be applied in the stage of the component analysis and design. Hence, in this paper, we propose component cohesion, coupling, independence metrics reflecting the information extracted in the step of component analysis and design. The proposed component metric bases on the similarity information about behavior patterns of operations to offer the component's service. Also, we propose the redesigning process for the improvement of component design. That process uses the techniques of clustering and is for the thing that makes the component as the independent functional unit having the low complexity and easy maintenance. And, we examine that the component design model can be improved by the component metrics and the component redesigning process.

소프트웨어 컴포넌트는 빠르게 변화하는 컴퓨팅 환경과 시대의 추세에 신속히 대응할 수 있도록 개발의 가능성을 이루게 하는 소프트웨어의 단위이다. 이는 소프트웨어 컴포넌트 간의 의존성을 줄이고 응집력을 높이는 것을 핵심으로 한다. 이러한 소프트웨어 컴포넌트를 정량적으로 평가할 수 있는 중요한 지표는 바로 결합도와 응집도이다. 본 논문에서는 런타임 상황을 고려하여 클래스 추상화 정도에 따른 클래스의 응집력을, 소프트웨어 컴포넌트 응집력으로 확장한다. 또한 컴포넌트 인터페이스에 의한 내부 결합도와 컴포넌트 간의 의존성에 따른 외부 결합도 측정법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 제안 메트릭스를 사례에 적용하여 그 효율성을 평가한다.

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.

The component-based development methodology becomes famous as the new technology for reuse. That technology can help us easily develop a complex and large system by composing reusable components in short period with high-quality and low-cost. The component-based system nay be developed by composing more than one component. So, the quality of component-based system is determined by individual component duality. Therefore, it is necessary to measure individual component quality for the improvement in quality of component-based system. Hence, in this paper, we propose new component metrics for measuring the cohesion as relationship between classes and interfaces or among classes. Those can be applied in the early stage of software development life cycle. So, we can measure the functional cohesion of component which will be developed. Predicting functional independence of a component, we expect to reduce the software developing cost & effort and improve software quality by reusing a component.

In component-based system, the qualities of components as reusable units are the most important to success the component-based development. Therefore, before software implementation phase, the designed components should be measurable to improve the qualities of the components and the measured results should be reflected in the component-based development phase. In addition, the qualities of the components should be measured accurately. Accordingly, this paper proposes cohesion and coupling metrics applying static and dynamic dependency characteristics by the interdependence between classes. We prove the theoretical soundness of the proposed metrics by the axiom of briand et al. A case study and a comparison with the conventional metrics verify the practicality of the proposed metrics. The development times and endeavors to design the components is reduced, because the proposed metrics measure the qualities of components accurately.

소프트웨어의 재사용성을 높일 수 있는 기법으로 객체보다 더 큰 재사용 단위인 컴포넌트 기반의 개발에 학계와 업계의 관심이 집중되고 있다. 객체지향 방식으로 구현된 모델들은 정보 은폐과 캡슐화를 지원함으로서 응집도 높은 객체들의 집합으로 컴포넌트를 식별하는 작업이 자연스러운 장점이 있다. 그러나 객체가 다른 객체들과 관계와 상속 등으로 연결되는 반면에, 컴포넌트는 컴포넌트들 사이의 인터페이스 호출에 의한 의존도만 나타나며 기본적으로 상호 독립적이다. 따라서 객체지향 모델을 컴포넌트 기반의 모델로 전환 시, 기존의 관계와 상속들을 컴포넌트의 인터페이스로 추출하여 제거하는 작업이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 객체지향의 객체 모델을 컴포넌트 기반의 객체 모델로 전환 시 예상되는 문제점들을 해결하기 위한 실무적인 지침들을 제안하고자 한다.

Component-based software development (CBSD) has been recognized effective reuse techniques for software development by many of researchers and companies. The purpose of CBSD is to produce a high quality software system quickly through using verified software component which is contained fine-grained business logics. This paper suggests the metrics and techniques for to extract component and its interface from legacy object oriented application. For extract component, we apply metrics to measure complexity, cohesion and coupling to the legacy system.
