Abstract

Despite inherent difficulties, measuring software quality is important because it makes evaluation and improvement of various aspects of software. In this study, a new cohesion metric named COMIAS is proposed and its first empirical validation is given. Being a structural metric, COMIAS can be used in every stage of software lifecycle. Key-Words: Cohesion, Object Oriented Metrics 1 H.O.Ertemel is also affiliated with the IT Institute of TUBITAK Marmara Research Center
