CONTEXT: Software metrics may be used in fault prediction models to improve software
quality by predicting fault location. OBJECTIVE: This paper aims to identify software metrics …

Context Coupling relations reflect the dependencies between software entities and can be
used to assess the quality of a program. For this reason, a vast amount of them has been …

Several important aspects of software product quality can be evaluated using dynamic
metrics that effectively capture and reflect the software's true runtime behavior. While the …

The difficulty of software development tasks depends on several factors including the
characteristics of the underlying source-code. These characteristics can be captured and …

Coupling in software applications is often used as an indicator of external quality attributes
such as fault-proneness. In fact, the correlation of coupling metrics and faults in object …

Testability is a property of software which introduces with the purpose of forecasting efforts
need to test the programs. Software quality is the most important factor in the development of …

Despite the availability of various systematic approaches and principles in practices that
provide a framework within which to manage, the inherent complexity of large scale software …

The quality evaluation of software, eg, defect measurement, gains significance with higher
use of software applications. Metric measurements are considered as the primary indicator …

Since the proposal of Aspect-Oriented Programming, several candidate fault taxonomies for
aspect-oriented (AO) software have been proposed. Such taxonomies, however, generally …
