| Maintenance of software systems is becoming major concern for software
developers and users. In software projects/products, where software
changes/updates are frequently required to improve software quality,
maintainability is an important characteristic of ISO 9126 quality standard to
evaluate. Analyzability, changeability, stability, and testability are sub
attributes/characteristics of maintainability in ISO 9126. In this paper,
changeability is measured by making changes at code level of an Aspect-
Oriented (AO) system. The approach taken to evaluate the changeability of an
AO system is to compute the impact of changes made to modules of the system.
Some projects1 in aspect-oriented programming (AOP) language, AspectJ, have
been taken for testing. The results suggest that the AO system can easily absorb
changes and AO design metrics can be used as indicators of changeability as
well as of maintainability. The results also suggest that a code level change in
AO systems not always cause less change impact to other modules than a code
level change in Object-Oriented (OO) systems. |
