Abstract
Cohesion is an Object-Oriented (OO) software design property that helps for the measuring of degree of interdependency or connectivity within subsystems of a system. Numerous class cohesion metrics can be found in the literature. Which metric is best suited for a given situation is always a critical question. Few metrics are validated empirically against open source software projects. The purpose of this paper is to validate empirically of the proposed new class cohesion metric (CC) using some open source software projects and find the effected quality factors. Results of this paper conclude that CC continuously gives better correlation with Number Line of Code (NLOC) compare to other existing cohesion metrics. The average value of CC (CohS) of a system also predicts the natures (understandability, modifiability, and maintainability) of a system.
