Abstract
This paper proposes a technique for the measurement of Cohesion and Coupling of Sequence Diagram using the Program Slicing. The sequence diagram contains the dynamic information of the Object Oriented system. In this work Sequence Dependency Graph (SDG) is generated from the states and scenarios of Sequence diagram. The SDG is then dynamically sliced taking various aspects into consideration. These slices can then be used to measure Cohesion and Coupling. The novelty of this approach is the direct measurement of Cohesion and Coupling of an object oriented system from Sequence diagram.
