Investigation of the impact of cohesion on the change-proneness of Java interfaces

A lack of cohesion is often associated with bad software quality, and could lead to more changes and bugs in software. In this thesis the impact of cohesion on the change-proneness of Java interfaces is investigated. Showing the existence of a relation between these concepts can lead to better change prediction models that can support software...

Analyzing the Evolution of WSDL Interfaces using Metrics

Recent studies have investigated the use of source code metrics to predict the change- and defect-proneness of source code. While the indicative power of these metrics was validated for several systems, it has not been tested on Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA). In particular, the SOA paradigm prescribes the development of systems through...
