Code cloning is widely recognized as a threat to the maintainability of source code. As such, many clone detection and removal strategies have been proposed. However, some clones ...
Coupling and cohesion between subsystems are commonly studied metrics when analyzing the architecture of software systems. It is usually desirable for subsystems to have high cohe...
Current change history analysis approaches rely on information provided by versioning systems such as CVS. Therefore, changes are not related to particular source code entities su...
Source code coupling and change history are two important data sources for change coupling analysis. The popularity of public open source projects in recent years makes both sourc...
