Our extensive industrial collaboration enables us to do research with immediate application to software development practices in realistic settings.
Our paper "The shape of feature code: an analysis of twenty C-preprocessor-based systems" is now published online at the Software & Systems Modeling Journal
by Leonardo Passos on July 20, 2015
In this paper, we perform a statistical analysis of three feature-annotation metrics (e.g., scattering degree) applied to a corpus of 20 open-source systems. In particular, we investigate the distribution shape of our target metrics and extract thresholds (limits) that could be used by practitioners to control the evolution of feature annotations in their own evolving systems.
