Comparison of software structures in Java and Erlang programming languages

Empirical studies on fault behaviour in evolving complex software systems have shown that communication structures among the software entities such as classes, modules, software units and communications among them, is significantly affecting the system fault behaviour. Therefore, we were motivated to further investigate software structures. One interesting question is to investigate software structures from software products written in different programming languages. In this work we present our preliminary study for which we developed tools to examine software structures of software products written in Java and Erlang programming language. We provide details on how we extract software structure from software product and provide preliminary results analyzing four Erlang software products and four Java software products.
