Although H. S. Chae's class cohesion measure considers not only the number of interactions, but also the patterns of the interactions among the constitute members of a class (which overcomes the limitations of previous class cohesion measures) it, however, only partly considers the patterns of interactions, and might cause the measuring results to be inconsistent with intuition in some cases. This paper discusses the demerits and proposes constructive amendments to Chae's cohesion measure. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
