越来越多的重要性被放在软件度量导致了越来越多的研究开发新的软件措施。鉴于面向对象开发技术的重要性，其中一个特定的领域是面向对象系统中的耦合度量。然而，尽管有一个非常有趣和丰富的工作机构，有很少的理解动机和实证假设背后的许多这些新的措施。通常很难确定这些措施之间的相互关系以及它们可用于何种应用。因此，这是非常困难的从业者和研究人员获得一个清晰的画面，以选择或定义面向对象的系统的措施的最先进的。通过几项不同的活动来处理和澄清这种情况。第一，提供了表示措施的标准化术语和形式，确保所有使用该术语的措施都以完全一致和可操作的方式表示。其次，提供一个结构化的综合，现有的框架和措施，在面向对象的系统耦合测量的审查发生。第三，根据审查中发现的问题，提供一个统一的框架，然后根据这个框架对所有现有措施进行分类。本文有助于增加对最新技术水平的了解。
The increasing importance being placed on software measurement has led to an increased amount of research developing new software measures. Given the importance of object-oriented development techniques, one specific area where this has occurred is coupling measurement in object-oriented systems. However, despite a very interesting and rich body of work, there is little understanding of the motivation and empirical hypotheses behind many of these new measures. It is often difficult to determine how such measures relate to one another and for which application they can be used. As a consequence, it is very difficult for practitioners and researchers to obtain a clear picture of the state of the art in order to select or define measures for object-oriented systems. This situation is addressed and clarified through several different activities. First, a standardized terminology and formalism for expressing measures is provided which ensures that all measures using it are expressed in a fully consistent and operational manner. Second, to provide a structured synthesis, a review of the existing frameworks and measures for coupling measurement in object-oriented systems takes place. Third, a unified framework, based on the issues discovered in the review, is provided and all existing measures are then classified according to this framework. This paper contributes to an increased understanding of the state-of-the-art.
