In today's software development landscape, the extent to which Java applications utilize object-oriented programming paradigm remains a subject of interest. Although some researches point to the considerable overhead associated with object…

The high cost of the test can be dramatically reduced, provided that the coverability as an inherent feature of the code under test is predictable. This article offers a machine learning model to predict the extent to which the test could…

Modularity is a desirable characteristic for software systems. In this article we propose to use a quantitative method from complex network sciences to estimate the coherence between the modularity of the dependency network of large open…

Interfaces are widely used as central design elements of Java applications. Although interfaces are abstract types similar to abstract classes, the usage of interfaces in Java applications may considerably differ from the usage of abstract…

Recently Java programming environment has become so popular. Java programming language is a language that is designed to be portable enough to be executed in wide range of computers ranging from cell phones to supercomputers. Computer…

In object systems, classes take the role of modules, and interfaces consist of methods. Because methods are encapsulated in objects, interfaces in object systems do not allow abstracting over \emph{where} methods are implemented. This…

Our study is focused on an evaluation of the maintainability characteristic in the context of the long-term evolution of open-source software. According to well established software quality models such as the ISO 9126 and the more recent…

Reduce and control complexity is an essential practice in software design. Cyclomatic complexity (CC) is one of the most popular software metrics, applied for more than 40 years. Despite CC is an interesting metric to highlight the number…

Single inheritance has been widely accepted in the current programming practice to avoid the complication that incurred by multiple inheritance. Single inheritance enhances the reusability of codes and eliminates the confusion of identical…

Although writing code seems trivial at times, problems arise when humans misinterpret what the code actually does. One of the potential causes are "atoms of confusion", the smallest possible patterns of misinterpretable source code.…

During compilation from Java source code to bytecode, some information is irreversibly lost. In other words, compilation and decompilation of Java code is not symmetric. Consequently, the decompilation process, which aims at producing…

Software measurement is an essential management tool to develop robust and maintainable software systems. Software metrics can be used to control the inherent complexities in software design. To guarantee that the components of the software…

While developing their software, professional object-oriented (OO) software developers keep in their minds an image of the subtyping relation between types in their software. The goal of this paper is to present an observation about the…

The inner views of all our applications are predetermined by the designers; only some non-significant variations are allowed with the help of adaptive interface. In several programs you can find some moveable objects, but it is an extremely…

Developing large-scale distributed applications can be a daunting task. object-based environments have attempted to alleviate problems by providing distributed objects that look like local objects. We advocate that this approach has…

This paper is the extended version of On the Complexity of Infinite Advice Strings (ICALP 2018). We investigate a notion of comparison between infinite strings. In a general way, if M is a computation model (e.g. Turing machines) and C a…

In managed languages, serialization of objects is typically done in bespoke binary formats such as Protobuf, or markup languages such as XML or JSON. The major limitation of these formats is readability. Human developers cannot read binary…

Basic automated refactoring operations can be chained to perform complex structure transformations. This is useful for recovering the initial architecture of a source code which has been degenerated with successive evolutions during its…

In software engineering, impact analysis involves predicting the software elements (e.g., modules, classes, methods) potentially impacted by a change in the source code. Impact analysis is required to optimize the testing effort. In this…

Software code complexity is a well-studied property to determine software component health. However, the existing code complexity metrics do not directly take into account the fault-proneness aspect of the code. We propose a metric called…
