Predicting Maintenance Effort with Function Points

by Frank Niessink, Hans van Vliet - INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE , 1997
"... Function Point Analysis (FPA) is a well-known method to measure the functionality of a system, from the user's point of view. Both Albrecht's original model and a local variant we studied assume that effort is primarily related to the size of a change. Analysis of data gathered on a major ..."

An Empirical Study of Build Maintenance Effort

by Shane Mcintosh, Bram Adams, Thanh H. D. Nguyen, Yasutaka Kamei, Ahmed E. Hassan - in Proceedings of the 33rd International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE , 2011
"... The build system of a software project is responsible for transforming source code and other development artifacts into executable programs and deliverables. Similar to source code, build system specifications require maintenance to cope with newly implemented features, changes to imported Ap-plicat ..."

Estimation Metrics for Courseware Maintenance Effort

by Christine W. Thackaberry, Roy Rada - JOURNAL OF UNIVERSAL COMPUTER SCIENCE , 1998
"... Software engineering methods and metrics to estimate development time for the development and maintenance of computer-based training (CBT) differ from methods and metrics used to develop large information systems. The estimation techniques for large information systems employ Lines-Of-Code and Fea ..."

Quantifying the Effect of Code Smells on Maintenance Effort

by Dag I. K. Sjøberg, Aiko Yamashita, Bente Anda, Audris Mockus, Tore Dybå - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON SOFTWARE ENGINEERING , 2012
"... Context: Code smells are assumed to indicate bad design that leads to less maintainable code. However, this assumption has not been investigated in controlled studies with professional software developers. Aim: This paper investigates the relationship between code smells and maintenance effort. Meth ..."

Measuring Maintenance Effort in Object Oriented Software with Indirect Coupling

by Nirmal Kumar Gupta, Pilani Rajasthan, Mukesh Kumar Rohil, Pilani Rajasthan
"... Measurement of maintenance effort in object oriented software engineering is one of the major challenges. Coupling among classes is one of the major factors determining the maintenance effort. Coupling is measured as strength of interconnection or interdependence between different parts of the Class ..."

Does Software Design Complexity Affect Maintenance Effort?

by Andreas Epping, Christopher M. Lott - Goddard Space Flight Center , 1994
"... The design complexity of a software system may be characterized within a refinement level (e.g., data flow among modules), or between refinement levels (e.g., traceability between the specification and the design). We analyzed an existing set of data from NASA's Software Engineering Laboratory ..."
Abstract - Cited by 8 (0 self) - Add to MetaCart
to test whether changing software modules with high design complexity requires more personnel effort than changing modules with low design complexity. By analyzing variables singly, we identified strong correlations between software design complexity and change effort for error corrections performed

An Empirical Analysis on Distribution Patterns of Software Maintenance Effort

by Ye Yang, Qi Li, Mingshu Li, Qing Wang
"... Distribution of effort in software engineering process has been the basis for facilitating more reasonable software project planning. This paper reports empirical results on activity effort distribution patterns of a series of industrial software maintenance projects. The results show that with resp ..."

Function for Prediction of Software Maintenance Effort on the basis of Multivariate approach

by Dimple Chandra
"... The connection among object oriented metrics and software maintenance effort is complex and non-linear. Therefore, there is wide research area in development and application of sophisticated techniques which can be used to construct models for predicting software maintenance effort. The aim of this ..."

Estimating software maintenance effort: a neural network approach

by Ruchi Shukla, Arun Kumar Misra - Proc. 1st India software engineering conference, ACM
"... Software maintenance forms an essential component of software development. Its planning includes estimation of maintenance effort, duration, personnel and costs. Adequate information regarding size, complexity and maintainability is however often unavailable. In the present work, a Neural Network (N ..."

A Review on Software Maintenance Issues and How to Reduce Maintenance Efforts

by Uttamjit Kaur, Gagandeep Singh
"... Software Maintenance and evolution are identifying by their huge cost and slow speed of implementation. Survey showed that around 60 % of the maintenance effort was on the total cost of software. But after delivering the software to the client, the maintenance work begins. This paper suggests some i ..."
