Software metrics for social capital in social media
The aim of this research was creating metrics for measuring social connectedness in social media. This thesis made use of social capital theory in order to inform the construction of original metrics. The methodology used in this thesis involved conducting a literature review into the use of social …

Analysis of relationship between software metrics and process models
This thesis studies the correlation between software process models and software metrics. To support our studies we have defined a Process - Metric Evaluation Framework and derived an evaluation template from it. The template served as a basic tool in studding the relationships between various …

An Investigation of Software Metrics Affect on Cobol Program Reliability
… to predict a COBOL program's reliability from software characteristics that are found in the program's source code. The first step was to select factors based on the human information processing model that are associated with changes in computer program reliability. Then these factors (software …

An annotated and classified bibliography of software metrics publications : 1988 to 1994
With the growth of the software industry, the measurement of software plays an ever increasing role. In order to provide software metric researchers and practitioners with references so they can quickly identify the references of particular interest to them, over 60 of the many publications on …

A methodology for integrating maintainability into large-scale software using software metrics
Maintainability must be integrated into software as early in the development life cycle as possible to avoid overwhelming maintenance costs at later stages. This research describes a methodology which assists in the development of maintainable systems and does so without disrupting industry …

A methodology, based on a language's properties, for the selection and validation of a suite of software metrics
Software Engineering has attempted to improve the software development process for over two decades. A primary attempt at this process lies in the arena of measurement. "You can't control what you can't measure" [DEMT82]. This thesis attempts to measure the development of multimedia products. …

The relationship among commenting style, software complexity metrics, and software maintainability
… the relationships between comment quantity and software metrics are assessed to determine whether programmers increase comment quantity in complex modules. In addition, comment quantity and software metrics are related to software maintenance data. It was found that software complexity, as …

The control and transformation metric: a basis for measuring model complexity
… event simulation model representations. Current software metrics, based upon graphical analysis or static program characteristics, do not capture the influence on complexity stemming from the inherent dynamics of a model. A study of extant software metrics provides a basis for identifying …

Application of software quality metrics to a relational data base system
It is well known that the cost of large-scale software systems has become unacceptably high. Software metrics by giving a quantitative view of software and its development would prove invaluable to both software designers and project managers. Although several software quality metrics have been …

Factors Affecting the Programming Performance of Computer Science Students
… spent on projects, along with their programs. Software metrics were computed on the students' source code. Correlations between student performance and the log data and software metric data were sought. No significant indicators of performance were found, even with factors that are commonly …

Software comprehension : theory and metrics
… a direct bearing on several important aspects of software quality. These include reliability, modifiability, reusability, and maintainability to name a few. The process of comprehension has been studied by psychologists. Their findings have implications for software engineering practises. A survey …

Study of metrics and practices for improving object oriented software quality
Modern software systems are large and complex products, consisting in thousands lines of code, developed, often in a distributed environment, by dozens of developers and produced through an industrial process, usu- ally with short time to market. To manage such kind of complexity and to keep the …

Power laws in software systems
… of my PhD has been the study of power laws in software systems within the perspective of describing software quality. My PhD research contributes to a recent stream of studies in software engineering, where the investigation of power laws in software systems has become widely popular in recent …

An Empirical investigation into metrics for object-oriented software
… over the last decade, and are now the norm for software development in many application areas. Many claims were made for the superiority of object-oriented methods over more traditional methods, and these claims have largely been accepted, or at least not questioned by the software community. …

An Empirical Study Investigating the Predictors of Software Metric Correlation in Application Code and Test Code.
On non-trivial software, the large test code base needs adequate maintenance similarly to the application code. Using complexity metrics on large software reveals that Application code is more complex than test code but not necessarily so much more, Test code is not as simple as it should be and …

Using Model Driven Engineering to Reliably Automate the Measurement of Object-Oriented Software
Software metrics have many important uses in software engineering, for example, assessing software quality or estimating the cost and effort of developing software. Many metrics have been proposed and new metrics continue to appear in the literature. Many of these metrics are incomplete, ambiguous …

Measurement of the effects of reusing C++ classes on object-oriented software development
This research models the effects of software reuse on object-oriented software development, in particular, the reuse of C++ classes. Two types of reuse (with and without modification) are compared. The common traits of programmers who tend to reuse are identified, and some object-oriented software …

Quantifying software architecture attributes
Software architecture holds the promise of advancing the state of the art in software engineering. The architecture is emerging as the focal point of many modem reuse/evolutionary paradigms, such as Product Line Engineering, Component Based Software Engineering, and COTS-based software development. …
