Assuring high software quality often entails time-consuming and costly development processes. A software quality model based on software metrics can be used to guide enhancement efforts by predicting which modules are fault-prone. The paper presents a way to determine which predictions by a classification tree should be considered uncertain. We conducted a case study of a large legacy telecommunications system. One release was the basis for the training data set, and the subsequent release was the basis for the evaluation data set. We built a classification tree using the TREEDISC algorithm, which is based on chi-squared tests of contingency tables. The model predicted whether a module was likely to have faults discovered by customers, or not, based on software product, process, and execution metrics. We simulated practical use of the model by classifying the modules in the evaluation data set. The model achieved useful accuracy, in spite of the very small proportion of fault-prone modules in the system. We assessed whether the classes assigned to the leaves were appropriate by examining the details of the full tree, and found sizable subsets of modules with substantially uncertain classification. Discovering which modules have uncertain classifications allows sophisticated enhancement strategies to resolve uncertainties. Moreover, TREEDISC is especially well suited to identifying uncertain classifications.","PeriodicalId":372331,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Sixth International Software Metrics Symposium (Cat.

Recently, there has been much research effort devoted to developing and empirically validating metrics for OO design quality. Complexity, coupling, and cohesion have received a considerable interest in the field. Despite the rich body of research and practice in developing design quality metrics, there has been less emphasis on dynamic metrics for OO designs. The complex dynamic behavior of many real-time applications motivates a shift in interest from traditional static metrics to dynamic metrics. This paper addresses the problem of measuring the quality of OO designs using dynamic metrics. We present a metrics suite to measure the quality of designs at an early development phase. The suite consists of metrics for dynamic complexity and object coupling based on execution scenarios. The proposed measures are obtained from executable design models. We apply the dynamic metrics to assess the quality of a pacemaker application. Results from the case study are used to compare static metrics to the proposed dynamic metrics and hence identify the need for empirical studies to explore the dependency of design quality on each.","PeriodicalId":372331,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Sixth International Software Metrics Symposium (Cat.

We propose using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) with a Variable Returns to Scale (VRS) model. First, we discuss and illustrate this method by analyzing Albrecht-Gaffney's two-dimensional dataset. Next, we review previous empirical studies using DEA showing that several studies have used DEA where simpler methods could have been used. Finally, we apply DEA to a multi-dimensional dataset of 30 industrial COTS software projects extracted from a benchmarking database in Andersen Consulting. Our main conclusion is that DEA is an applicable method, albeit not without shortcomings, for comparing the productivity of COTS software projects, and that it, therefore, merits further research. However, for two-dimensional datasets this method is unnecessary complex, and there exists other, simpler alternatives. Also, the results support our assumption of increasing as well as decreasing returns to scale for this dataset. Thus, the VRS model provides more reasonable and fair comparisons of project performance than a Constant Returns to Scale (CRS) model. Finally, this study suggests that DEA used together with methods for hypothesis testing may be a useful technique for assessing the effect of alleged process improvements.","PeriodicalId":372331,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Sixth International Software Metrics Symposium (Cat.

If the same metrics can be applied across multiple releases or projects, significant cost savings can be realized in the management and implementation of the measurement program.For example, if one set of metrics can be identified on release n that are applicable on release n+l,..., N, the following cost savings would be achieved: Simplified management measurement program. of the Reduced metrics analysis time resulting from the fact that new sets of metrics do not have to be identified and validated for each release or project. Reduced training requirements because personnel do not have to be trained in several sets of metrics. Reduced data management cost because data about multiple sets of metrics do not have to be stored and retrieved.The panel will identify the types of applications and projects where this approach has been successful and where it has not, using product and process data from projects at Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, Nortel, IE3M Global Services, and the Space Shuttle. The conditions that must exist for this approach to be successful, such as process maturity and stability, type of application, and types of product and process metrics, will also be covered.The panel will be stimulating and provocative because the panelists will take opposite positions on whether the approach is applicable to a variety of applications and projects or is restricted to special situations.
