Revisiting Class Cohesion: An empirical investigation on several systems

By: Linda Badri, Mourad Badri, Alioune Badara Gueye

Abstract

We believe that existing metrics fail to reflect properly the properties of class cohesion, particularly in terms of functional relationships that may exist between methods. They are based on restricted criteria and could lead, as stated in some papers, to unexpected values of cohesion in many situations.
