Entropy-Based Measurement for Software. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Oct 2008, Pages: 168
Component-based software systems are becoming larger
and more complex. The quantification of these
systems is possible through representation in a
hierarchical structure with the use of software
metrics. Metrics provide information about such
features as complexity, design, quality, size,
development time, effort, and cost. Entropy-based
software metrics promise important improvements in
measuring complexity, design quality, and information
flow. The proposed measurement framework in this book
offers quantitative representation and decomposition
methods to apply entropy-based metrics. By using this
measurement framework, the developer could achieve a
hierarchical representation of the system which would
clarify the logic flow and quantify the interaction
between the components. The framework targets the
design and evolution phases in component-based
systems to detect structural complexity issues and
comprehend the interaction of the software modules.
This framework would be helpful to both designers and
users to represent the component-based system in a
comprehensible form and to apply the necessary measures.
