Measurement of object-oriented software spatial complexity

TL;DR: This paper presents two measures of spatial complexity of object-oriented software, which are based on definition and usage of classes and objects, which get affected suitably because of inheritance and polymorphism as well, due to change in the distances.

Validation of a Standard- and Metric-Based Software Quality Model

TL;DR: The automatic assessment of software quality using standard-and metric-based software quality models has numerous advantages, such as less error-prone, less time consuming, and neutral.

Using Software Quality Attributes to Classify Refactoring to Patterns

TL;DR: This paper takes the first step towards a classification of refactoring to pattern techniques based on their measurable effect on software quality attributes, which helps software designers in selecting the appropriate refactors that will improve the quality of their designbased on their design objectives.

Ground-based estimation of the aircraft mass, adaptive vs. least squares method

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the performance of two mass estimation methods proposed in recent publications, namely, Schultz et al. and BADA, by fitting the modeled energy rate (i.e., the power of the forces acting on the aircraft) with the energy rate observed at several points of the past trajectory.

A hybrid heuristic approach to optimize rule-based software quality estimation models

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a search-based software engineering approach to improve the prediction accuracy of software quality estimation models by adapting them to new unseen software products, which has been implemented and favorable result comparisons are reported in this work.

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.
