由於物件導向方法越來越廣泛被使用在軟體開發上，所以如何測量物件導向軟體的品質變成為了重要課題，目前已經有非常多的測量物件導向軟體的metrics被提出來，也有metrics提供如何測量模組與模組之間的關連程度，像是MQ、IC和AC等。但是這些被提出來測量模組之間關係的metrics大多數沒有經過open source軟體來做測試，也沒有實驗性的驗證與說明，本篇論文針對MQ、IC和AC等提供測量modularization quality的metrics做了實驗分析，透過四十四個Eclipse專案，驗證這些metrics與fix response time和defect density之間不具有明顯的相關性，最後利用統計的方法來說明與解釋實驗結果。Nowadays, object-oriented design approach is widely used in software development. Therefore, how to measure the quality of object-oriented software has become an important issue. Recently, metrics have been proposed to measure modularization quality of object-oriented software, such as MQ, IC, and AC. However, there has been little work on validating these metrics by applying them to popular open-source software systems. In this work, we validated the correlation between the metrics and fix response time or defect density, respectively. Through the experiment on forty-four open source Eclipse projects, we showed that there are no obvious correlations between MQ/IC/AC metrics and fix response time or defect density, respectively.
