METACOM: Um Método para Análise de Correlação entre Métricas de Produto de Software e Propensão a Manutenção
Resumo
Considerando-se que as características de qualidade de um software influenciam no esforço de sua manutenção, este artigo apresenta um Método para Análise de Correlação entre Métricas de Produto de Software e Propensão à Manutenção denominado METACOM. O método proposto define um processo de extração, transformação e carga de métricas de software orientado a objetos e de volume de manutenções. O METACOM é composto por um modelo de análise de correlação entre as medidas obtidas, visando identificar métricas de produto mais preditivas. Descrevem-se também a aplicação do METACOM na análise de projetos reais da indústria de software e as considerações de especialistas sobre os principais resultados.
Palavras-chave:
Análise de Correlação, Métricas de Produto, Propensão a Manutenção
