Analyzing Structural Software Changes: A Case Study.
Črt Gerlec, Marjan Heričko · 2012
Software engineers strive to understand software’s evolution and make software better and more reliable. In the last decade, software’s life cycle became an interesting research area. However, software evolution could be analyzed from different aspects. In the study, we focused on analyzing structural software changes between software’s versions. We used the WatiN project and observed its structural changes during the. The research showed that the number of structural source code changes increased near the release dates.
