We want to explore and analyse design decisions that influence maintainability of software. Software maintainability is important because the effort expended on changes and fixes ...
—A widely shared belief in the software engineering community is that stack traces are much sought after by developers to support them in debugging. But limited empirical evidenc...
The principle of information hiding has been very influential in software engineering since its inception in 1972. This principle prescribes that software modules hide implementat...
