An Efficient Software Defect Analysis Using Correlation-Based Oversampling

TL;DR: A novel approach called as ICOS (Improved Correlation over Sampling) is proposed for handling class imbalance software defect datasets that uses oversampling strategy to generate new instances using synthetic and hybrid category approaches.

Dynamic profiling-based approach to identifying cost-effective refactorings

TL;DR: The first results show that dynamic information is helpful in identifying cost-effective refactorings that fast improve maintainability; the results also offer the promising support for the contention that using dynamic information helps to extracting refactoring candidates from highly-ranked frequently changed classes.

Evaluating Inheritance and Coupling Metrics

TL;DR: This paper helps in predicting software quality with the help of object oriented metrics in the early stages of product development.

The visibility of maintenance in object models: an empirical study

M. Lindvall, +1 more
TL;DR: The major finding is that even though many of the classes are changed, the majority of these changes turn out to be invisible in the object model, which means that changes made on the source code level are of a finer granularity than available in common object modeling concepts.

A Model for Detecting Cost-Prone Classes Based on Mahalanobis-Taguchi Method

TL;DR: A novel model for detecting cost-prone classes is proposed based on Mahalanobis-Taguchi method---an extended statistical discriminant method merging with a pattern recognition approach to improve performances of reviews and testings in object-oriented software.

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.
