Coupling metrics play an important role in empirical software engineering research as well as in industrial measurement programs. The existing coupling metrics have usually been defined in a way that they can be computed from a static analysis of the source code. However, modern programs extensively use dynamic language features such as polymorphism and dynamic class loading that are difficult to...
Cohesion refers to the degree of the relationships among the members in a class. A class is cohesive when its members are highly correlated. Several metrics have been proposed in the literature in order to capture class cohesion in terms of connections among members. They generally count the number of attributes used by methods or the number of methods pairs that share attributes. They constitute...
Software requirements engineering is the practice of eliciting, analysing and recording the acceptance criteria of a system based on the needs of the systems users and its stakeholders. The ability for software architects to accurately determine and describe system requirements has improved vastly through the evolution of software development process models, processes and techniques. These advancements...
Search-based software testing (SBST) has shown a potential to decrease cost and increase quality of testing- related software development activities. Research in SBST has so far mainly focused on the search for isolated tests that are optimal according to a fitness function that guides the search. In this paper we make the case for fitness functions that measure test fitness in relation to existing...
An important issue to the adoption of any enterprise architectural approach is the availability of tools to support the development, storage, presentation, analysis, improvement and evolution of enterprise architecture representations. As with enterprise architecture methodologies, enterprise architecture tools to support the architectural development process are still emerging. Most important software...
