A quantitative approach for evaluating the effectiveness of refactoring in software development process
TL;DR: In this article, a software development model using Refactoring practices is proposed in such a way that refactoring activity accompanies all the phases of software development, which can be defined as a change made to the internal structure of software to make it easier to understand and cheaper to modify without changing its observable behavior.

Viewpoint representation validation: a case study on two metrics from the Chidamber and Kemerer suite
TL;DR: This work has tried to empirically validate the preservation of viewpoints in numerical relations for the metrics depth of inheritance tree (DIT) and number of children (NOC), proposed by Chidamber and Kemerer, and which it is referred to as viewpoint representation validation.
Dissertation
Patterns of Change: Can modifiable software have high coupling?
TL;DR: It is concluded that while it is desirable to avoid excessive interconnectivity, it is difficult to completely eliminate high coupling; and second, that the presence of high coupling does not necessarily imply poor system design.

Instability and Abstractness Metrics Based on Responsibility
TL;DR: This paper begins with Martin's principles and uses them to modify his instability and abstractness metrics which were defined to identify poorly designed packages which are hard to maintain and reuse, and finds that the proposed instability and Abstractness metrics are very promising and lead to improved results.

A complexity measure
TL;DR: In this paper, a graph-theoretic complexity measure for managing and controlling program complexity is presented. But the complexity is independent of physical size, and complexity depends only on the decision structure of a program.

A Complexity Measure
TL;DR: Several properties of the graph-theoretic complexity are proved which show, for example, that complexity is independent of physical size and complexity depends only on the decision structure of a program.

Towards a metrics suite for object oriented design
TL;DR: These metrics are based upon measurement theory and are informed by the insights of experienced object-oriented software developers, and formally evaluated against a widelyaccepted list of software metric evaluation criteria.

Software Structure Metrics Based on Information Flow
S. Henry,Dennis Kafura +1 more
TL;DR: This paper defines and validates a set of software metrics which are appropriate for evaluating the structure of large-scale systems and can be interpreted to reveal various types of structural flaws in the design and implementation.
