Suppose you are going to design an instant messaging application called Telegraph. Telegraph is modularized application composed of UI module, Chat module, and Contact module. The UI modu uses the Chat module and the Contact module to render the user interface. The Chat module deals wi sending and receiving messages. The Chat module uses the Network module for netwo communication. When users send/receive messages via the network, the Chat module uses the Cryp module to encrypt/decrypt the message. The Contact module manages the contact list. It also uses ti Crypto module for encryption/decryption. The Crypto module uses the Math module for calculation Now we propose a metric to measure the stability of modules. Formally, we define the “stability" of module i as Sį = where dị" (i.e., incoming connection or dependency) is the number d"+a?" modules that directly or indirectly USES module i and d?ut (i.e., outgoing connection dependency) is the number of modules that module i directly or indirectly USES. For example, Figu 2-1 shows module X, that is used by three modules, so d = 3 and dout = 0. Thus, module x shou be unlikely to change because it has three incoming dependencies. Conversely, in Figure 2-2, modu Y uses three modules, i.e., dgut = 3, so it is more likely to change due its three outgoing dependenci.
