An Emirical Study of Software Quality and Evolution in the Context of Software Reuse
Mari Torgersrud Haug · 2005
Software reuse has become increasingly popular among development projects in the software industry. It promises decreased time-to-marked, and increased software quality. Another subject that has recieved increased levels of attention, is software evolution. This evolution is a natural consequence of the inevitably maintenance of software performed to secure high levels of software quality. Unfortunately, software evolution doesn’t always affect software quality in a purely positive way. There is a need for more empirical studies on the software quality and evolution in the context of reuse. This report describes the results of such a study. The study defined and tested 6 hypotheses using historical data from two industrial projects. The results indicate that....
