In recent publications, two prominent approaches can be found which deal with the complexity of large software systems. First, there is the object–oriented approach, where ”ob...
The characteristics of object-oriented software affect type and relevance of faults. In particular, the state of the objects may cause faults that cannot be easily revealed with t...
A new language and inference algorithm for stochastic modeling is presented. This work refines and generalizes the stochastic functional language originally proposed by [1]. The l...
Measuring structural design properties of a software system, such as coupling, cohesion, or complexity, is a promising approach towards early quality assessments. To use such meas...
Coupling in software has been linked with maintainability and existing metrics are used as predictors of external software quality attributes such as fault-proneness, impact analy...
