Abstract

In this paper we introduce the concept of a "dependency profile", a system level metric aimed at quantifying the level of encapsulation and independence within a system. We verify that these profiles are suitable to be used in an evaluation context by inspecting the dependency profiles for a repository of almost 100 systems. Furthermore we outline the steps we are taking to validate the usefulness and applicability of the proposed profiles.

Component dependency in object-oriented software

Component dependency is an important software measure. It is directly related to software understandability, maintainability, and reusability. Two important parameters in describing component dependency are the type of coupling between two components ...

Measuring dependency freshness in software systems
ICSE '15: Proceedings of the 37th International Conference on Software Engineering - Volume 2

Modern software systems often make use of third-party components to speed-up development and reduce maintenance costs. In return, developers need to update to new releases of these dependencies to avoid, for example, security and compatibility risks. In ...
