Software metrics and software maintenance

Journal of Software Maintenance: Research and Practice, 1990
AbstractThe term “software crisis” refers to the huge amount of resources needed for the development and maintenance of software. A major problem with research in these areas is the lack of solid data. In particular, there is little data that can be used to predict the types of problems that are likely to occur during the software's maintenance.This ...

Metrics of Software Quality,

1978
Abstract : This report covers the period from 1 June 1977 to 30 October 1980. A major task on this contract was to make a comprehensive review of the literature on software metrics and of quantitative measures of program testing. Another accomplishment was the development of an automatic procedure for testing FORTRAN programs with random numbers and ...

An Evolution of Software Metrics

Proceedings of the International Conference on Advances in Image Processing, 2017
The main goal of software engineering is to produce good quality reusable software within the given time-period, with minimum cost and that satisfies the user's needs. To enhance the quality of the software, number of techniques should be adopted. In the present scenario lots of quantifiable methods/tools are used to measure the various aspects of the ...

On hierarchical software metrics

Software Engineering Journal, 1987
The notion of a hierarchical software metric is introduced, encompassing and extending the earlier work of Fenton and Whitty and this author. It is shown that a stronger interpretation of this notion is insufficient for treating the important ‘number-of-paths’ metric, whereas this metric definitely falls within the range of the axiomatic system ...

Parametric Software Metric

2011
Software metrics make meaningful information such as reliability, maintainability to help developers, architecture and so on. It also decides what kind of information is needed to produce a meaningful result from a preset goal. Software metrics should be customizable according to the needs of different users. Earlier, software metrics were not flexible

Derivation of Green Metrics for Software

2013
Sustainability of software depends on several factors including the processes deployed to develop, operate, maintain and dispose software systems. To make such sustainability-related processes actually deployable and controllable, specific green metrics and indicators are necessary.

Graph Clustering Evaluation Metrics as Software Metrics. [PDF]

, 2014
Graph clustering evaluation (GCE) metrics quantify the quality of clusters obtained by graph clustering (community detection) algorithms. In this paper we argue that GCE metrics can be applied on graph representations of software systems in order to evaluate the degree of cohesiveness of software entities.

Methodology for validating software metrics

IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, 1992
A comprehensive metrics validation methodology is proposed that has six validity criteria, which support the quality functions assessment, control, and prediction, where quality functions are activities conducted by software organizations for the purpose of achieving project quality goals.

Software diversity metrics and measurements

[1992] Proceedings. The Sixteenth Annual International Computer Software and Applications Conference, 2003
The authors define and formalize the concept of software diversity which characterizes N-Version software (NVS) from four different points of view that are designated as structural diversity, fault diversity, tough-spot diversity, and failure diversity. The goals are to find a way to quantify software diversity and to investigate the measurements which
