In order to increase our ability to use measurement to support software development
practise we need to do more analysis of code. However, empirical studies of code are …

High cohesion is a desirable property of software as it positively impacts understanding,
reuse, and maintenance. Currently proposed measures for cohesion in Object-Oriented …

Alongside the modern software development life cycle approaches, software testing has
gained more importance and has become an area researched actively within the software …

Many empirical studies have found that software metrics can predict class error proneness
and the prediction can be used to accurately group error-prone classes. Recent empirical …

This paper presents the results of an empirical study on the subjective evaluation of code
smells that identify poorly evolvable structures in software. We propose use of the term …

Defect prediction models help software organizations to anticipate where defects will appear
in the future. When training a defect prediction model, historical defect data is often mined …

Coupling in software has been linked with maintainability and existing metrics are used as
predictors of external software quality attributes such as fault-proneness, impact analysis …

Modeling languages, just as all software artifacts, evolve. This poses the risk that legacy
models of a company get lost, when they become incompatible with the new language …

While often defined in informal ways, software cohesion reflects important properties of
modules in a software system. Cohesion measurement has been used for quality …

A large number of software metrics have been proposed in the literature, but there is little
understanding of how these metrics relate to one another. We propose a novel experimental …
