Association between JPL Coding Standard Violations and Software Faults: An Exploratory Study
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2017, Vol 8, Issue 5
Abstract
Since the software community has realised the importance of adopting coding standards during the development process for improved software quality, many coding standards have been proposed and used during the software development. The main objective of this paper is to explore the association between Java Programming Language (JPL) coding standard and fault density of classes in object-oriented software. For this purpose, a set of metrics that quantify the violations of coding standards has been proposed. An exploratory study was then conducted in which data were collected from six open source software systems. The study involved principal component analysis, bivariate correlation analysis, and univariate regression analysis. The principle component analysis has shown that many of the proposed metrics fall into the first two components which in turn reflects the importance and diversity of these metrics. Furthermore, associations between some metrics and fault density have been observed across all systems, and thus indicate that these metrics can be useful predictors for improved early estimation of faulty density of object-oriented classes.
