“…We did not consider any kind of consensus but considered experts' decisions as choices; so, in the future, we can extend the proposed approach by incorporating the consensus of the decision makers [48,53,54] along with the multichoice set. The proposed model can also be implemented for some modern problems; see [55][56][57].…”

Multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques have successfully been used to address a wide range of real-world decision-making issues. The best–worst method (BWM) is one of the several deterministic MCDM approaches. A recently proposed method called the multichoice best–worst method (MCBWM) takes into account several linguistic terms for pairwise comparisons of relative preferences among the criteria. It has been shown that the MCBWM approach has advantages over BWM: it reduces the calculation and determines optimal weight values by providing the choices for the optimal solution. This paper proposes a unique method for group decision-making based on MCBWM. We extended the MCBWM to solve group decision-making problems. A novel solution approach was developed and validated for multiple problems. Two examples and one case study were solved using the proposed approach to demonstrate the validity and application of the proposed method. The results were further compared with existing models to validate the proposed approach. We found that the obtained ranking order for all problems is the same and that the proposed model has a higher consistency ratio than the existing approaches. This method can be extended to other mathematical programming models for collective decision making in uncertain situations.

“…Reference [27] proposed an approach that aims to select the most suitable metric, e.g., complexity, cohesion, coupling, and inheritance, for detecting specific design defects. In this approach, a fuzzy decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory method has been applied to identify the detection rules.…”

Measuring software quality requires software engineers to understand the system's quality attributes and their measurements. The quality attribute is a qualitative property; however, the quantitative feature is needed for software measurement, which is not considered during the development of most software systems. Many research studies have investigated different approaches for measuring software quality, but with no practical approaches to quantify and measure quality attributes. This paper proposes a software quality measurement model, based on a software interconnection model, to measure the quality of software components and the overall quality of the software system. Unlike most of the existing approaches, the proposed approach can be applied at the early stages of software development, to different architectural design models, and at different levels of system decomposition. This article introduces a software measurement model that uses a heuristic normalization of the software's internal quality attributes, i.e., coupling and cohesion, for software quality measurement. In this model, the quality of a software component is measured based on its internal strength and the coupling it exhibits with other component(s). The proposed model has been experimented with nine software engineering teams that have agreed to participate in the experiment during the development of their different software systems. The experiments have shown that coupling reduces the internal strength of the coupled components by the amount of coupling they exhibit, which degrades their quality and the overall quality of the software system. The introduced model can help in understanding the quality of software design. In addition, it identifies the locations in software design that exhibit unnecessary couplings that degrade the quality of the software systems, which can be eliminated.
