Abstract

An experiment was conducted to perceive the comparison between lcom values and IQ based on time analysis. One of themost important and significant software attributes for assessing objectoriented software quality. In this experiment many strategies andmethods were used to perform lcom. To implement the strategy a test was conducted for 60 students undergoing their post graduation in computer applications and a program comprehension was performed with individual groups. The correlation value of the comprehension time for each of the program was calculated. From the study it was found that when in the case of intersection and when values are high it will lead to less complexity and in other cases if no intersection is found between one to n methods it will certainly lead to high complexity.

Abstract

Cohesion is an important software attribute; it is one of the significant criterions for assessing object oriented software quality. Modules with high cohesion have a propensity to be preferable because high cohesion is associated with several desirable traits of software including robustness, reliability, reusability, and understandability while in the other case low cohesion is associated with undesirable traits such as being difficult to maintain, difficult to test, difficult to reuse, and even difficult to understand. This paper puts together the various techniques of lcom which has been proposed by various authors and this will give the overview about Lcom. This paper incorporates an assortment of aspects of lcom, which allows the reader to get a clear perspective on lcom. A selected choice of research articles were fused into this paper to facilitate the ease of a researcher searching for articles related to cohesion which in event makes the study of that researcher more competent.

Abstract

In recent years, the winds of cognitive science is gently ushering changes in the latest software technologies. Also the traditional software complexity measures focuses only on addressing the complexity of the procedure oriented and object oriented software development. Thus envisioning new areas like component based system would lead to better utilization of resources and make the end user’s task easier. Thus an experiment has been conducted to study the link between personality traits and program debugging in component based systems. In our experimental setting, the debugging test was conducted in java bean programs and Personality test in Eysenck's personality inventory and the results were correlated. From the results, it is observed that there is a positive correlation between the personality traits and debugging. Psychoticism personality people performed better in debugging compared to the other two personality traits students.
