Software metrics

Proceedings of the Conference on The Future of Software Engineering, 2000
Software metrics as a subject area is over 30 years old, but it has barely penetrated into mainstream software engineering. A key reason for this is that most software metrics activities have not addressed their most important requirement: to provide information to support quantitative managerial decision-making during the software lifecycle.

Empirical analysis of change metrics for software fault prediction

Computers and Electrical Engineering, 2018
A quality assurance activity, known as software fault prediction, can reduce development costs and improve software quality. The objective of this study is to investigate change metrics in conjunction with code metrics to improve the performance of fault

A metric for software readability

Proceedings of the 2008 international symposium on Software testing and analysis, 2008
In this paper, we explore the concept of code readability and investigate its relation to software quality. With data collected from human annotators, we derive associations between a simple set of local code features and human notions of readability.

The Research on Software Metrics and Software Complexity Metrics

2009 International Forum on Computer Science-Technology and Applications, 2009
The process of software development, including documentation, design, program, test, and maintenance can be measured statistically. Therefore the quality of software can be monitored efficiently. Software metrics is very important in research of software engineering and it has developed gradually.

A study of software metrics

Journal of Systems and Software, 1991
Abstract This article reports on an empirical study conducted to explore the interdependencies among a number of software metrics and validate a new metric. Also a model for code faults in terms of static metrics is presented and investigated. The software analyzed is a commercial data-base system currently being sold and used widely. Availability of

Toward software metrics for distributed software

Proceedings 1995 Asia Pacific Software Engineering Conference, 2002
With increasingly complicated distributed software we must do our best to establish a maintenance mechanism. The paper presents generalized software complexity metrics for measuring the computational complexity of distributed programs, and introduces the notion of communication complexity unit based on the smallest process communication group.

Software Metrics for Agile Software Development

19th Australian Conference on Software Engineering (aswec 2008), 2008
Agile software development methods are nowadays wide spread and accepted. From the software measurement point-of-view not all metrics and methods from conventional lifecycle models can be used without adaptation. Distinct techniques in agile software development like refactoring needs new approaches and quality models in the area of software ...

A relational approach to software metrics

Proceedings of the 2004 ACM symposium on Applied computing, 2004
There is still no standardization of software measures and metrics extraction tools have to be updated frequently to handle the changes. A possible solution is represented by using an intermediate abstraction layer to decouple the information extraction process from the use of the information.
