A quantitative evaluation of aspect-oriented software quality model (AOSQUAMO)

Abstract

Aspect-Oriented (AO) technology is a new paradigm and emerging field of software development. Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) cleanly encapsulates crosscutting concerns which cannot be encapsulated or modularized by traditional programming approaches like Module-Oriented (MO) and Object-Oriented (OO). In order to evaluate quality of software systems, researchers and practitioners have proposed their software quality characteristics and models. As AO is a new abstraction, there is no dedicated software quality model, which can describe and include new features of AO technology. In this paper, a new Aspect-Oriented Software Quality Model (AOSQUAMO) has been proposed. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used to evaluate quality of AO software systems as a single parameter. This proposed quality model further may be used to compare AO software systems which will help consumer to choose better quality software.

Evaluation of ERP Systems Quality Model Using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) Technique

“…Because of the ISO/IEC 9126 provides quality characteristics and sub-characteristics that are general and common for evaluating the quality of every type of software products, the recently proposed quality models have been derived from ISO/IEC 9126. For example, Kumar et al [6] have proposed quality model depend on ISO/IEC 9126 in order to evaluate the quality of aspect-oriented software. Adnan et al [17] have also proposed model to evaluate the quality of COST systems.…”

“…As previously mentioned, the ERP system is integrated suite software modules that support firms' functions and resources. The complexity of such system is due the interaction between its software modules [6] [17]. So, the complexity characteristic could be useful not only in efforts that are needed for development and maintenance a system, but also efforts needed to move from module to another by the end user.…”

“…Among these models are McCall's software quality model, Boehm's software product quality model, Dromey's quality model, FURPS quality model and ISO\IEC 9126. The metrics are qualitative indicators of system characteristics and the quality models explain the relationships between such metrics [6]. Additionally, other studies have been conducted to provide guidelines for evaluating the quality of different types of software systems.…”

Aspect-Oriented Software Quality Model: The AOSQ Model

“…The quality of aspect modules cannot be by the above discussed models and software quality model for assessing the quality of projects developed using AOP need to be developed. In 2009, Software quality model for AOSD was proposed by Kumar et al [15] and it is called Aspect-Oriented Software Quality Model (AOSQUAMO). Another AOSD based quality model is proposed by I. Castillo et al [25] …”

Assessment of reusability in aspect-oriented systems using fuzzy logic

“…Reusability can be assessed with the help of those quality characteristics on which reusability depends in that particular domain. These may be internal characteristics such as cohesion [5], coupling [6], and complexity [7,8] or external characteristics such as maintainability, understandability, modularity, and adaptability [9,10,11] of aspect-oriented systems. Here, we are focused on assessment of reusability of the projects developed in AspectJ [12], which is an extension of Java.…”
