摘要:Software architectures evaluation has an important role in the life cycle of software systems. Theconceptual integrity is one of the quality attributes which could be closely related to software architecturaldesign. It is the underlying theme or vision that unifies all levels of the system's design. In this paper, amethod for measuring the conceptual integrity of software architecture is provided. Conceptual integritymeasurement is done in several steps by extracting a graph structure which its nodes are architecturalconcepts and its edges are relationship between them. The constructed graph is then weighted according tothe type of relationship among the architectural concepts. Finally, a metric for evaluating the conceptualintegrity from the refined graph is provided
