Empirical Analysis of the Relation between Level of Detail in UML Models and Defect Density

چکیده
This paper investigates the relation between the level of detail (LoD) in UML models and defect density of the associated implementation. We propose LoD measures that are applicable to both classand sequence diagrams. Based on empirical data from an industrial software project we have found that classes with higher LoD, calculated using sequence diagram LoD metrics, correlates with lower defect density. Overall, this paper discusses a novel and practical approach to measure LoD in UML models and describes its application to a significant industrial case study.

An empirical study on the relation between the quality of UML models and the quality of the implementation
Many researches have shown that modeling design at an early stage has a positive in uence on software quality such as lower software maintenance cost. However, empirical studies on illustrating this positive in uence are still insu cient. Although interviews with practitioners from the industrial world indicated the importance of good modeling design to software development, an innovative resea...
متن کاملAspect Oriented UML to ECORE Model Transformation
With the emerging concept of model transformation, information can be extracted from one or more source models to produce the target models. The conversion of these models can be done automatically with specific transformation languages. This conversion requires mapping between both models with the help of dynamic hash tables. Hash tables store reference links between the elements of the source...

متن کاملSize-Dependent Forced Vibration Analysis of Three Nonlocal Strain Gradient Beam Models with Surface Effects Subjected to Moving Harmonic Loads
The forced vibration behaviors are examined for nonlocal strain gradient nanobeams with surface effects subjected to a moving harmonic load travelling with a constant velocity in terms of three beam models namely, the Euler-Bernoulli, Timoshenko and modified Timoshenko beam models. The modification for nonlocal strain gradient Timoshenko nanobeams is exerted to the constitutive equations by exc...
