10 Questions
What is the main goal of the paper discussed in the text?
One goal of this paper is to empirically explore the relationships between existing object-oriented (OO) coupling, cohesion, and inheritance measures and the probability of fault detection in system classes during testing.
What is the second goal of the paper?
The second goal is to propose an investigation and analysis strategy to make these kind of studies more repeatable and comparable, a problem which is pervasive in the literature on quality measurement.
What do the results of the study show about the relationship between the measures used in the data set?
Results show that many of the measures capture similar dimensions in the data set, thus reflecting the fact that many of them are based on similar principles and hypotheses.
What does the study show about the accuracy of building models to predict fault distribution using a subset of measures?
It is shown that by using a subset of measures, accurate models can be built to predict which classes most of the faults are likely to lie in.
Where was the study conducted, and by whom?
The study was conducted at Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental Software Engineering, Kaiserslautern, Germany, by Lionel C. Briand, Jürgen Wüst, John W. Daly, and D. Victor Porter.
What are the main design measures explored in the paper?
coupling, cohesion, and inheritance measures in object-oriented systems
What is the primary goal of the paper?
to empirically explore the relationships between design measures and software quality in object-oriented systems
What does the paper propose to address in terms of the repeatability and comparability of studies?
an investigation and analysis strategy to make these kind of studies more repeatable and comparable
What do the results show about the relationship between the measures used in the data set?
many of the measures capture similar dimensions in the data set, reflecting the fact that many of them are based on similar principles and hypotheses
How do the results suggest accurate models can be built to predict fault distribution?
by using a subset of measures, accurate models can be built to predict which classes most of the faults are likely to lie in
