Understanding the Nature of Software Evolution

چکیده
Over the past several years, we have been developing methods of measuring the change characteristics of evolving software systems. Not all changes to software systems are equal. Some changes to these systems are very small and have low impact on the system as a whole. Other changes are substantial and have a very large impact of the fault proneness of the complete system. In this study we will identifi the sources of variation in the set of software metrics used to measure the system. We will then study the change characteristics to the system over a large number of

متن کاملThe Study in Architects’ Thoughts Evolution in Pahlavi Era by Using Content Analysis
The study of the architectural history is a critical attempt to understanding the architecture. Our expectation of studying history of architecture is not just understanding past, but the relationship between past and future. Contemporary architectural scholars should not consider architecture as changing and renewing phenomenon, but pinpoint its nature, beginning and the process of its transfo...
متن کاملUsing Magma Mixing/Mingling Evidence for Understanding Magmatic Evolution at Mount Bidkhan Stratovolcano (South-East Iran)
Mount Bidkhan stratovolcano is located in the central Iranian volcanic belt. It is composed of several types of pyroclastic deposits, lava flows and intrusive bodies. Textural and chemical characteristics of plagioclase phenocrysts from the eruptive products volcanic edifice, record complex magma mixing events over the lifetime of the volcano. Evidences such as xenocrystic high Al+Ti clinopyrox...
متن کاملTowards a Web Site Architecture Framework for Reengineering
Understanding the evolution, and managing the reengineering of a large Web site is as hard as evolving a large software system of comparable size. Evolution and maintenance of traditional legacy systems have been extensively studied by reengineering researchers. However, Web site evolution and migration is a new domain with many open questions. We propose the development of a Web site architect...
