摘      要：Software engineers are always looking for ways to improve modularity in software. Doing so makes software easier to develop and maintain and improves its overall quality. Recently, aspect-oriented programming emerged as a new modularity technique that aims to cleanly separate the implementation of crosscutting concerns (requirements and design elements that affect multiple modules). AOP is an evolutionary step that improves the implementation\ s comprehensibility and simplifies incorporating new requirements as well as changes to existing ones. This systematic approach promises direct mapping of requirements and design intentions to the implementation. Such a mapping lets you trace the reasoning behind a piece of code\ s existence. Efficiently implementing crosscutting concerns also has an important indirect benefit: it frees resources to concentrate on the quality of the core implementation. All these factors work together to improve software quality.
