“…Wang et al [2] used the Quality Model for Object-Oriented Design (QMOOD) metric proposed by Harrison et al [20] to evaluate the improvement in reusability, flexibility, and understandability of the system after their refactoring. QMOOD is a quality metric at the class level in object-oriented design, and Singh et al [21] proposed the Quality Metric of Package Level in Object-Oriented Design (QMPOOD) with quality attributes including reusability, flexibility, functionality, understandability, extendibility, and effectiveness, and later they gave a specific method to calculate the reusability of software system packages in [22]. Chong et al [23] presented a weighted complex network to represent the structural characteristics of object-oriented software systems and used 40 object-oriented software systems for experiments to evaluate the maintainability and reliability of software systems.…”

A software system is usually developed with multiple modules. However, its structure is continuously modified during software evolution, resulting in poor maintainability and understandability. Therefore, software evolution must accompany system refactoring. This paper describes an optimization approach for package structure according to complex network theory. First, we analyze the relations between classes and build the class dependency graph. Second, we propose a community detection algorithm to recombine the classes and optimize system cohesion and coupling without changing the external functionality. Third, by comparing the original and optimized package structure, the two dimensions of splitting the package and moving classes between packages identify package refactoring opportunities. In addition, we evaluate the impact of the above approach on package quality in terms of package reusability and instability. We design experiments on 10 open-source Java software projects to verify the effectiveness of our approach.
