This analysis plugin calculates the values for cohesion and coupling based on a process design that is defined on a Product Data Model (PDM). The activities of a process design are groupings of data elements and operations. Such a design has to be read via an XML file.

Examples / Test cases

A number of test cases, including some small examples, are available on the ProM trac-site
