Function Point Analysis (FPA) is among the most commonly used techniques to estimate the size of software system projects or software systems. During the point counting process th...
This paper describes a study performed in an industrial setting that attempts to build predictive models to identify parts of a Java system with a high probability of fault. The s...
Vulnerability discovery rates need to be taken into account for evaluating security risks. Accurate projection of these rates is required to estimate the effort needed to develop ...
Recent work in applying causal modeling (Bayesian networks) to software engineering has resulted in improved decision support systems for software project managers. Once the causa...
