Motivation & Problem Statement

“We need to reduce complexity and increase maintainability” But…what metrics do we have to quantify these?

Motivation

10625 results from IEEE Xplore 247 results from ACM 27300 results from Google Scholar 42510 results from Science Direct

Final Remarks & Discussion

How to select the right coupling metrics? Which are the “best” ones for a given context? An index of metrics is still missing! The technology evolved…and so did the coupling (?) Do we need more research? Are we measuring coupling from the ivory tower? Are OO coupling metrics used in the industry? (not really, according to our experience)
