Improving Software Quality through Program Analysis

Improving the quality of software cohesion metrics through dynamic analysis

Class cohesion is an important object oriented software quality attribute. Assessing the class cohesion and improving the class quality accordingly during the object oriented design phase allows for cheaper management of the later phases. Most of the cohesion metrics planned in the journalism describes static cohesion measurement at design level. Static metrics is a measure that is applied at t...

Improving Quality of Software through Formal Inspection

The software inspection process was created for the dual purpose of improving software quality and increasing programmer’s productivity. Formal inspection is a better method than technical walkthroughs in the software life cycle process. benefits gained in the development of defect-free software by utilizing formal inspection Formal inspections may be applied to any product or partial product o...

Improving Software Maintainability through Risk Analysis

The lifetime of a product is dependent on its maintainability. It is proved that a lot of cost spent towards maintainability. Researchers find it as a difficult task to measure and improve software maintainability. Here we proposed a risk based approach to improve software maintainability. Risk based approach accounts the probability of failure of a portion of code as determined by its complexi...

Improving Java Software through Package Structure Analysis

Packages are an important mechanism to decompose Java programs. However, because packages are defined implicitly, it is not easy to develop a large application with a proper package structure. This article presents a tool that assists the programmer in developing a proper package structure through analysis and visualization. The tool indicates weak areas in package structures and allows human a...
