Abstract:
Software measurements play a critical role in assessing software properties. Cohesion is one of the software properties that are considered to have a relationship with software quality. Many cohesion metrics have been proposed by researchers to assess cohesion on different software abstractions, i.e., class-level and package-level. The proposed package-level cohesion metrics in the literature seem to differ in their assessment of cohesion. In this paper, we try to investigate this issue and establish whether cohesion has only one concept. The conclusion of this paper encourages further investigation and comparison between the existing package-level cohesion metrics.
