Abstract

This paper discusses an approach to evaluating the separation of concerns for an object-oriented software system. For assessing this separation, the developer is asked to specify the nature of classes through annotations. Automatic identification of some structural characteristics (e.g., inheritance, libraries, synchronisation) is used to appraise the composition and intertwining of concerns inside a class.
