Providing quality measurement for aspect-oriented software development

Abstract

Adopting aspect-oriented technologies for software development requires revisiting the entire traditional software lifecycle in order to identify and represent occurrences of crosscutting during software requirements engineering and design, and to determine how concerns are composed. In this work, we propose sets of quality measurements to be associated with the activities of aspect-oriented software development (AOSD). The intended goal of the measurements is to assist stakeholders with quantitative evidences to better map or iterate system modules at different activities in the development process and to better set the design decisions for the analyzed requirements.
