Software Module Clustering: An In-Depth Literature Analysis

Software module clustering is an unsupervised learning method used to cluster software entities (e.g., classes, modules, or files) with similar features. The obtained clusters may be study, analyze, and understand the entities’ structure behavior. Implementing optimal results challenging. Accordingly, researchers have addressed many aspects of in past decade. Thus, it essential present research evidence that has been published this area. In 143 papers from well-known literature databases examined were reviewed extract useful data. data then answer several questions regarding state-of-the-art approaches, applications engineering, processes, algorithms, evaluation methods. Several gaps challenges are discussed paper provide a reference for field.
