Crosscutting changes = aspect candidates
Contributions of the thesis

Fine-grained analysis of version archives.              1
Project-specific usage patterns of methods (FSE 2005)
Identification of cross-cutting changes (ASE 2006)



Mining bug databases to predict defects.                2
Dependencies predict defects (ISSRE 2007, ICSE 2008)
Domino effect: depending on defect-prone binaries increases
the chances of having defects (Software Evolution 2008).
Bugs! Bugs! Bugs!
Quality assurance is limited...

   ...by time...   ...and by money.
Spent resources on the
components that need it most,
  i.e., are most likely to fail.
Indicators of defects

Code complexity              Code churn
Complex Code is more         Changes are likely to
prone to defects.            introduce new defects.



History                      Dependencies
Code with past defects is    Using compiler packages
more likely to have future   is more difficult than using
defects,                     packages for UI.
2252 Binaries
28.3 MLOC
Hypotheses

Complexity of dependency graphs                             Sub
                                                          system
correlates with the number of post-release defects (H1)    level
can predict the number of post-release defects (H2)



Network measures on dependency graphs                     Binary
correlate with the number of post-release defects (H3)     level

can predict the number of post-release defects (H4)
can indicate critical “escrow” binaries (H5)

Centrality




Degree                         Closeness                           Betweenness
Blue binary has dependencies   Blue binary is close to all other   Blue binary connects the left
to many other binaries         binaries (only two steps)           with the right graph (bridge)
Centrality
• Degreethe number dependencies
          centrality
   -
   counts

• Closeness centrality binaries into account
   -
   takes distance to all other
   - Closeness: How close are the other binaries?
   - Reach: How many binaries can be reached (weighted)?
   - Eigenvector: similar to Pagerank
• Betweenness centrality paths through a binary
   -
   counts the number of shortest

Hypotheses Complexity of dependency graphs Sub system correlates with the number of post-release defects (H1) level can predict the number of post-release defects (H2) Network measures on dependency graphs Binary correlate with the number of post-release defects (H3) level can predict the number of post-release defects (H4) can indicate critical “escrow” binaries (H5)

  • 19. Centrality Degree Closeness Betweenness Blue binary has dependencies Blue binary is close to all other Blue binary connects the left to many other binaries binaries (only two steps) with the right graph (bridge)
  • 20. Centrality • Degreethe number dependencies centrality - counts • Closeness centrality binaries into account - takes distance to all other - Closeness: How close are the other binaries? - Reach: How many binaries can be reached (weighted)? - Eigenvector: similar to Pagerank • Betweenness centrality paths through a binary - counts the number of shortest
