—Coupling in software applications is often used as an indicator of external quality attributes such as fault-proneness. In fact, the correlation of coupling metrics and faults i...
The principle of separation of concerns has long been used by software engineers to manage the complexity of software system development. Programming languages help software engin...

This paper presents the results of an exploratory study on the fault-proneness of aspect-oriented programs. We analysed the faults collected from three evolving aspect-oriented sy...
Exception handling mechanisms are intended to support the development of robust software. However, the implementation of such mechanisms with aspectoriented (AO) programming might ...
