Abstract
Software development is a greatly multifaceted and intellect-oriented movement. In the early days of program development, developers engraved programs using machine language in which programmers consumed added time, thinking about a particular machine’s instruction set than the difficulty at hand. Progressively, programmers wandered to higher level languages. In order to progress software using higher level languages, there are different approaches and selection of software development approach depending on the type of application to be established. Aspect-oriented software development (AOSD) is a novel paradigm in software development that addresses certain concerns in software development that regards modularization as an important aspect. The practices of AOSD create the possibilities to modularize, crosscutting the concerns of a system. Analogous to objects in object-oriented software development, aspects in AOSD may ascend at any point of time of the software life cycle, containing requirements specification, design, implementation, etc. As this effort is built on empirical validating aspect-oriented metrics, coupling on method call (CMC) metric is selected. This work focuses on empirical validation of the metrics. Novel metric is cognitive weighted metric, which is calculated for CMC to calculate the coupling complexity value of the aspect.
