Abstract: Increasing complexity of software systems require extensive maintenance through decomposition of source code into appropriate abstractions to achieve effective modularization. An optimal modularization of object-oriented software insuring low coupling and high cohesion is perceived as a challenging task. In this paper, we present empirical perspective of new intermodule coupling based modularization metrics to assess their utility. In particular, we explore impact of correlation between these design-based modularization metrics and external quality attributes of software systems. Our experimental study covers 34 open source java software systems and shows that inter-module coupling based modularization correlates with existing metrics of modularization and also bear substantial relationship with vital quality attributes of software design.
