4. Code Measurement
Myth: Complexity correlates to testing costs: True (but only for certain types of testing)
Myth: Complex software is bad software: False
- Studies show that medium complexity modules are more reliable than smaller ones. [L. Hatton, "Reexamining the Fault Density-Component Size Connection", IEEE Software, March, 1997]
Metrics: Over 1000 [Horst Zuse]
What metrics correlate with what other metrics and what do their results mean?
- Single collection to multivariate collection
- Discriminant analysis; Principle Component Analysis
