%X In this article there is a description of
the process that yielded a software tool
which was designed with the purpose
of calculating four specific topological
invariants, among which we count the
Betti numbers, the dimension of the
complex, the q-array and the Euler-
Poincaré characteristic.
The meaning of all the obtained results
is viewed from Professor Luis
Eduardo Múnera’s perspective, which
in turn proposes a formal mathematical
definition of cohesion and
coupling, two important criteria
when evaluating modularity of a software
design. The article also describes
the tool itself, its functionality
and the importance it has to the
professor’s project.
In order to portrait a full comprehensible
description of both the process
and the tool, an historical framework
is established through a brief review
of the evolution of the different ideas
and concepts behind the project, and
the way and pace with which these
were assimilated by the student team
that were appointed to the task.
