Highly coupled systems have strong interconnections, with modules dependent on each other. Normally, writing modules with low coupling is thought to be a desirable goal during software development, because a module with low coupling is easier to maintain and reuse. Coupling metrics are often used as predictors of software external quality attributes such as maintainability, reusability and reliability. Many coupling frameworks are proposed to measure coupling dependencies in object-oriented systems and several studies carry out static coupling dependency analysis in aspect-oriented systems. However, few research works focus on systematic coupling analysis for both static and dynamic coupling measurement in aspect-oriented systems. In this paper, we propose a suite of coupling framework for AspectJ programs. At the core of framework is an invocation relationship between modules. Based on the coupling between modules, we measure the coupling dependencies between components and then overall system coupling. Based on the proposed framework, we present two typical applications in aspect-oriented systems. System maintainability evaluation. In this paper, a suite of fine-grained coupling metrics are presented to measure the coupling for software change during system evolution. We identify changed modules by change impact analysis and measure the coupling value for each module. Finally, we employ statistical correlation analysis and propose several indicators to evaluate the impact of software change on system maintainability. Aspectual refactoring evaluation. Aspectual refactoring has been widely used in practical software maintenance tasks. However, the study on the coupling impact of aspectual refactoring i
