    Multi-Paradigm Metric and Its Applicability on Java Projects
    (Budapest Tech Polytechnical Institution, 2013) Misra,S.; Cafer,F.; Akman,I.; Fernandez-Sanz,L.
    JAVA is one of the favorite languages amongst software developers. However, the numbers of specific software metrics to evaluate the JAVA code are limited. In this paper, we evaluate the applicability of a recently developed multi paradigm metric to JAVA projects. The experimentations show that the Multi paradigm metric is an effective measure for estimating the complexity of the JAVA code/projects, and therefore it can be used for controlling the quality of the projects. We have also evaluated the multi-paradigm metric against the principles of measurement theory.

    Automated Recovery and Visualization of Test-To Traceability (tct) Links: an Evaluation
    (Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2021) Aljawabrah, Nadera; Gergely, Tamas; Misra, Sanjay; Fernandez-Sanz, Luis
    In the software development process, traceability links between unit tests and code are not explicitly maintained, and dependencies in most cases are manually identified. As a result, a large amount of effort and time is required during the comprehension process to establish the links between these artifacts. Although there are several methods that can infer such links based on different phenomenons, these methods usually produce different set of traceability links. This work expands upon previous traceability link recovery and visualization studies by implementing a combination of traceability recovery methods that automatically retrieve the links, and visualizing them to help developers to overview the links inferred by various recovery techniques, and also to select the right relations for analyses. The results of the usability study show that the visualization model presented herein can effectively support browsing, comprehension, and maintenance of Test-to Code Traceability (TCT) links in a system with enhanced efficiency, as well as visualization of TCT links from multiple sources is better than a visualization of single source of traceability links.
