Assessment of Package Cohesion and Coupling Principles for Predicting the Quality of Object Oriented Design

In determining the quality of design two factors are important, namely coupling and cohesion. This paper highlights the principles of package architecture from cohesion and coupling point of view and discusses the method for extracting metric associated with them. The method is supported with the help of case study. The results arrived at from the case study are discussed further for utilizing them for predicting the quality of software.
