- STRACT In this paper a new Software Metrics called Modularity Index is proposed and analyzed for the first time. This metrics could be used as a single measure to the modularity level of Open Source Projects. Modularity has been identified by many studies as one of the key factors of the success of Open Source Projects, but how modularity should be achieved and measured systematically is not yet known. In this first attempt to identify and analyze this metrics, the correlations of this Software Metrics with other parameters currently attributed to modularity such as size, number of modules, complexity, cohesion, and coupling(fan in and fan out) are identified and analyzed. The result of the analysis is the general formula for Modularity Index in a form of matrix relation. It can be shown from the analysis that the possibility of uniting many of these attributes into this single measure called Modularity Index is highly feasible.
