More than 90% of the cost of software is due to maintenance and evolution. Understanding the evolution of large software systems is a complex problem, which requires the use of va...
Design defects come from poor design choices and have the effect of degrading the quality of object-oriented designs. Therefore, they present opportunities for improvements. Howev...
We present a software defect prediction model using operating characteristic curves. The main idea behind our proposed technique is to use geometric insight in helping construct a...
—There are numerous studies that examine whether or not cloned code is harmful to software systems. Yet, few of them study which characteristics of cloned code in particular lead...

Abstract. Design defects are poor design choices resulting in a hard-tomaintain software, hence their detection and correction are key steps of a disciplined software process aimed...
