A Topic Modeling Based Solution for Confirming Software Documentation Quality
نویسندگان
چکیده
this paper presents an approach for evaluating and confirming the quality of the external software documentation using topic modeling. Typically, the quality of the external documentation has to mirror precisely the organization of the source code. Therefore, the elements of such documentation should be strongly written, associated, and presented. In this paper, we use Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) and HELLINGER DISTANCE to compute the similarities between the fragments of source code and the external documentation topics. These similarities are used in this paper to improve and advance the existing external documentation. Furthermore, these similarities can also be used for evaluating the new documenting process during the evolution phase of the software. The results show that the new approach yields state-of-the-art performance in evaluating and confirming the existing external documentations quality and superiority. Keywords—Software Documentation; LDA; Clusters; HELLINGER DISTANCE; and Information Retrieval

Characterizing and Fulfilling Traceability Needs in the PREDIQT Method for Model-based Prediction of System Quality
Our earlier research indicated the feasibility of the PREDIQT method for model-based prediction of impacts of architectural design changes, on the different quality characteristics of a system. The PREDIQT method develops and makes use of a multi-layer model structure, called prediction models. Usefulness of the prediction models requires a structured documentation of both the relations between...
متن کاملAutomated Image-based Procedures for Accurate Artifacts 3d Modeling and Orthoimage Generation
The accurate 3D documentation of architectures and heritages is getting very common and required in different application contexts. The potentialities of the image-based approach are nowadays very well-known but there is a lack of reliable, precise and flexible solutions, possibly open-source, which could be used for metric and accurate documentation or digital conservation and not only for sim...
متن کاملTowards Hypotheses on Creativity in Software Development
Though more and more researchers have realized the importance of creativity in software development, there are few empirical studies reported on this topic. In this paper, we present an exploratory empirical research in which several issues on creativity in software development are studied, that is, which development phases are perceived to include more creative work, whether or not UML-based d...
متن کاملCritical Factors and Configurations for Practical Image-based 3d Modeling
There is a need for accuracy evaluation tools for 3D image-based modeling and to identify the key factors and critical configurations affecting this accuracy. We propose a novel technique that creates simulated data based on the actual project data. The technique gives a valid and realistic measure of the accuracy, and has been applied on a wide variety of data to study the effect of various pa...
