TOOL OF DEFINING MINIMAL SCOPE OF MEASUREMENTS FOR MAINTAINABILITY ANALYSIS
Keywords:
Metrics, maintainability, measurement, statistical analysis, distribution, expected valueAbstract
The article is dedicated to defining of minimal scope of measurement necessary to perform objective maintainability analysis. Basic statistical characteristics of initial statistical analysis have been calculated for maintainability metric, such as: mathematical expectation, median, kurtosis and skewness; distribution law has been determined. Technique and tool of defining minimal scope of metrics measurements have been developed for maintainability analysis. Investigation results of several open source projects have been presented.References
