Abstract

Software development plays a vital role in interaction between the methods, classes, and attributes. Coupling is one of the most vibrant internal qualities to measure the design performance. Many object-oriented metrics have been proposed to evaluate different aspects of object-oriented program using coupling. This paper presents a new modern approach, which depicts the concept of interaction coupling, and a prototype is developed to measure the interaction coupling. Three types of metrics response for class (RFC), message-passing coupling (MPC), and method invocation coupling (MIC) that may invoke methods are analyzed, measured, and summarized.
