Metrics applied to Aspect Oriented Design using UML profiles

The aspect oriented design (AOD) surges from the continuous search of improving the software systems development. The AOD is a methodology that emerges from the aspect oriented programming (AOP), which intents to improve the concerns of the components in software programming; this methodology is based on existing technologies like object oriented (OO). Calculate the resources, is an activity that can improve the software development, because of this there are a big amount of investigation made on metrics. There is a great quantity of works about metrics applied to OO design but a few about metrics applied to AOD. Software´s metrics are ways of qualify the software designs. The application of metrics is essential to qualify the effectiveness of AOD. AOD is a methodology based OO therefore we can applied some metrics traditionally for OO design. This paper shows the definition of the C&K metrics applied to AOD using UML profiles.
