JISBD 03: Software Artifact Prioritization based on the Frequency of Use

TL;DR: A value-based methodology that prioritizes software artifacts taking into account the frequency of use is proposed, to minimize the maintenance effort needed to maintain large systems by means of reducing the size and complexity of such software.

Prediction of Software Maintenance Effort of Object Oriented Metrics Based Commercial Systems

TL;DR: It is ascertained that the algorithms will be able to decide the cluster with Easy, Medium, and High conditions of maintainable classes of similarity based on object oriented metrics.

Aspect Oriented Maintainability Metrics Validation-A Study on Philosophy

TL;DR: This study aims at a systematic analysis of the literature to find the theoretical and empirical validation done on the aspect oriented software maintainability metrics.

WebMetrics: A Tool for Improving Software Development.

TL;DR: This paper presents WebMetrics, an extensible tool for static analysis based on software metrics, for future development to learn from past experience: avoiding practices leading to poor software quality and emphasizing those increasing it.

A New Metric for Class Cohesion for Object Oriented Software

TL;DR: The results indicate that the proposed cohesion measure is strongly correlated with maintenance-effort and can serve as a good predictor of the same.

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

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.
