Method cohesion analysis through concept lattices

Cohesion in object oriented technology is usually associated with a class and hence majority of the available cohesion metrics capture cohesion of classes. Methods which are the main contributors to class cohesion are not analyzed for their internal cohesiveness. This concept paper proposes method cohesion analysis through concept lattices. The approach facilitates rapid identification of elements (statements or variables) in methods that are less cohesive with respect to the remaining part of the method. The paper discusses the analysis and interpretation of cohesion lattices. The approach is demonstrated through dummy examples
