Investigating design anti-pattern and design pattern mutations and their change- and fault-proneness
Empirical Software Engineering (KLU-EMSE), Volume 26, Issue 1https://doi.org/10.1007/s10664-020-09900-0AbstractDuring software evolution, inexperienced developers may introduce design anti-patterns when they modify their software systems to fix bugs or to add new functionalities based on changes in requirements. Developers may also use design patterns to ...

Software Quality Journal (KLU-SQJO), Volume 25, Issue 3Pages 641–670https://doi.org/10.1007/s11219-016-9318-6Past and recent studies have shown that design smells which are poor solutions to recurrent design problems make object-oriented systems difficult to maintain, and that they negatively impact the class change- and fault-proneness. More recently, lexical ...

The effect of refactoring on change and fault-proneness in commercial C# software
Science of Computer Programming (SCPR), Volume 102, Issue CPages 44–56https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scico.2014.12.002Refactoring is a process for improving the internal characteristics and design of software while preserving its external behaviour. Refactoring has been suggested as a positive influence on the long-term quality and maintainability of software and, as a ...

The ability of object-oriented metrics to predict change-proneness: a meta-analysis
Empirical Software Engineering (KLU-EMSE), Volume 17, Issue 3Pages 200–242https://doi.org/10.1007/s10664-011-9170-zMany studies have investigated the relationships between object-oriented (OO) metrics and change-proneness and conclude that OO metrics are able to predict the extent of change of a class across the versions of a system. However, there is a need to re-...

Measuring behavioral dependency for improving change-proneness prediction in UML-based design models
Journal of Systems and Software (JSSO), Volume 83, Issue 2Pages 222–234https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jss.2009.09.038Several studies have explored the relationship between the metrics of the object-oriented software and the change-proneness of the classes. This knowledge can be used to help decision-making among design alternatives or assess software quality such as ...
