Abstract

Cohesion is an internal software attribute which depicts how well the components of a software module are connected. It is thought of as having effect on the quality of the software system. This paper presents the results of an empirical investigation of whether cohesion of object-oriented systems plays a role on software reliability. The paper presents a study of the correlation between cohesion measures and the number of defects in software systems, using seven open source projects.
