Abstract: A growing body of literature suggests that there is an optimal size for software components. This means that components that are too small or too big will have a higher defect content (i.e., there is a U-shaped curve relating defect content to size). The U-shaped curve has become known as the "Goldilocks Conjecture". Recently, a cognitive theory has been proposed to explain this phenomenon, and it has been expanded to characterize object-oriented software. This conjecture has wide implications... (Update)
