An Experimental Study for the Comparison of LCOM Values and IQ based on Time Analysis

A. Antony Prakash, A. Aloysius

Abstract


An experiment was conducted to perceive the comparison
between lcom values and IQ based on time analysis. One of themost important and significant software attributes for assessing objectoriented software quality. In this experiment many strategies andmethods were used to perform lcom. To implement the strategy a test was conducted for 60 students undergoing their post graduation in computer applications and a program comprehension was performed with individual groups. The correlation value of the comprehension
time for each of the program was calculated. From the study
it was found that when in the case of intersection and when values are high it will lead to less complexity and in other cases if no intersection is found between one to n methods it will certainly lead to high complexity.
