Any object-oriented (O-O) module's primary goal is to build classes with a high level of coherent interaction between variables and methods. To increase the quality of O-O (Object-Oriented) software, various metrics emphasizing cohesiveness have been established so far. These metrics operate on both the design and the code levels. However, these metrics still fall short of fully measuring the cohesion of object-oriented (O-O) software. Based on several concepts of cohesive interlinkages between variables and procedures, the study proposed an enhanced cohesion metric. The four forms of cohesive linkages (VMRv, VMMv, VMRTv, and VMOv) between variables and procedures were the focus of this study. The axiomatic frame of reference was employed for theoretical validation, and univariate logistic regression was applied in the MATLAB environment for empirical validation. The approach of univariate logistic regression has been adopted because it provides incredibly accurate data and can even be applied to datasets that can be linearly separated. The proposed metric exhibits high cohesion, which is the ultimate perspective of a highly reusable Object- Oriented (O-O) module, as evidenced by the testing phase and even training the real dataset with reusability prediction in terms of high values of precision, recall, R2, and low value of RSME of VMICM metric. The study results demonstrated that the proposed metric can act as a measure for predicting the reusability of the Object-Oriented (O-O) system.

Nowadays, large numbers of organizations may opt for Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP), which is an enhancement to Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). This is due to the addition of a number of concepts that have assisted in the production of more flexible and reusable components. One of the most important elements added by AOP is software reuse, which is based on reusability attributes. These attributes indicate the possibility of reusing one or more components in the development of a new system. It is one of the most essential attributes to evaluate the quality of a system’s components. Thus far, little attention has been paid to the process of measuring AOP reusability, and it has not yet been standardized. The objective of the current study is to come up with a reasonable measurement for AOP software reuse, which is simultaneously a significant topic for researchers while offering several advantages for organizations. Although numerous models have been built to estimate the reusability of software, most of them are not dedicated to Aspect-Oriented Software (AOS). In this study, a model has been designed for AOS reusability estimation and measurement based on a new equation depending on five attributes that have a range of positive and negative impacts on AOS reusability. Three of those attributes, namely coupling, cohesion, and design size, have been included in previous studies. This study proposes complexity and generality as two new attributes to be considered. Each of these attributes was measured based on the metrics also proposed in this study. A new equation to calculate AOS reusability was constructed based on the most important reusability attributes and metrics. Seven aspect projects were employed as a case study to apply the proposed equation. After the proposed equation was applied to the selected projects, we obtained new values of reusability to compare with the values that resulted from applying the previous equation. The fact that new values emerged indicates that the proposed reusability metrics and attributes had a significant effect.

Nowadays, large numbers of organizations may prefer Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP), which is an enhancement to Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). This is due to the concepts that have been added and helped in producing more flexible and reusable components. As a result, AOP has directed attention to software reuse, which is a significant topic for researchers and offers several advantages for organizations. Software reuse is based on reusability attributes which indicate the possibility of a component that was built to be reused in developing a new system. It is one of the most essential attributes to evaluate the quality of a system’s components. Many models have been built to estimate the reusability of the software but most of them are not dedicated to Aspect-Oriented Software (AOS). This study aims to establish a ground for AOS reusability estimation and measurement based on a new model and its associated equations depending on six attributes that impact AOS reusability negatively and/or positively. Four attributes of them have been included in previous studies which are coupling, cohesion, design size, and messaging. Two new attributes have been proposed in this study, which are complexity, and generality. Both of these attributes have been measured based on the metrics that have also been proposed in this study. A new equation to calculate AOS reusability has been proposed in this research work. Seven Aspect projects have been employed as a case study to apply the proposed equation.
