Since object oriented system is becoming more pervasive, it is necessary that software engineers have quantitative measurements for accessing the quality of designs at both the architectural and components level. These measures allow the designer to access the software early in the process, making changes that will reduce complexity and improve the continuing capability of the product. Object oriented...
Reducing software complexity is key to reducing software maintenance costs. To discover complexity-reducing practices, in this paper we study the evolution of seven sizable open source programs over a long period of time. We first measure how software complexity changes as programs evolve, and identify complexity-reducing releases. We then study the changes introduced in these releases and extract...
We empirically examine the relationship between software design modularity and software quality in open source software (OSS) development projects. Conventional wisdom suggests that degree of software modularity affects software quality. An analysis of 203 software releases in 46 OSS projects hosted on SourceForge.net lends support for a more complex relationship between software modularity and software...
