Both for software developers and managers it is crucial to have clues about different aspects of the quality of their systems. Maintainability is probably the most attractive, observed and evaluated quality characteristic of all. The importance of maintainability lies in its very obvious and direct connection with the costs of altering the behavior of the software. In this paper we present an e...

Software development time depends on various attributes of the software product. In this paper, attempt has been made to define an empirical relation between software development time with respect to its dependence on lines of code, variables and methods. We have attempted to analyze the various dependencies of development time of a program upon its member functions, instance variables and the ...

A programming approach to the rapid prototyping of architectural design is discussed in this paper. This is done with particular reference to the early steps of design development, where a number of preliminary design alternatives should be generated and evaluated. At this purpose we show that the generation of the 3D shape of each design alternative can be automated starting from the 2D layout...

As applications become more complex with millions of lines of code, maintaining this code becomes an increasing burden. One fundamental set of tools involved in helping code maintenance finds segments of code given a higher-level concept. Although a number of techniques exist for this task, they have a number of issues. This paper discusses these limitations and proposes a number of techniques ...

GRK — the Grammar Recovery Kit — illustrates options for automation and corresponding tool support in the context of developing quality language references that readily cater for the derivation of parsers. GRK provides the proof-of-concept for two notions: (i) semi-automatic grammar recovery; (ii) language-reference re-engineering. GRK’s support for semi-automatic grammar recovery means that GR...

We present a technique for automatically generating features for data-driven program analyses. Recently data-driven approaches for building a program analysis have been proposed, which mine existing codebases and automatically learn heuristics for finding a cost-effective abstraction for a given analysis task. Such approaches reduce the burden of the analysis designers, but they do not remove i...

A battle management system for comprehensive ballistic missile defense must perform with near perfection and extraordinarily reliability. It will be complex to an unprecedented degree, untestable in a realistic environment, and provide minimal time for human intervention. The feasibility of designing and developing such a system (requiring upwards of ten million lines of code) is examined in li...

We can say a software project is successful when it is delivered on time, within the budget and maintaining the required quality. However, nowadays software cost estimation is a critical issue for the advance software industry. As the modern software’s behaves dynamically so estimation of the effort and cost is significantly difficult. Since last 30 years, more than 20 models are already develo...
