  The structural complexity of software: an experimental test
Darcy D., Kemerer C., Slaughter S., Tomayko J. IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering 31(11): 982-995, 2005.  Type: Article

This is one of the first papers I have seen that addresses the deep interactions of coupling and cohesion, and their effects on software design. The paper rightly identifies that dealing with structural software complexity can contribu...

  An Empirical Approach to Studying Software Evolution
Kemerer C., Slaughter S. IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering 25(4): 493-509, 1999.  Type: Article

While much has been written about software engineering, a major subdivision of the field has not received the empirical or research attention it deserves. Even though the recent Y2K problems have drawn attention to software maintenance...

  Managerial Use of Metrics for Object-Oriented Software: An Exploratory Analysis
Chidamber S., Darcy D., Kemerer C. IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering 24(8): 629-639, 1998.  Type: Article

A set of metrics has been proposed by Chidamber and  Kemerer  to measure the characteristics of object-oriented software. This paper illustrates how these metrics can be useful to managers. The authors have carried ou...

  Software complexity and maintenance costs
Banker R., Datar S., Kemerer C., Zweig D. Communications of the ACM 36(11): 81-94, 1993.  Type: Article

Software engineers have long believed that software complexity and maintenance costs are strongly related. This paper discusses the empirical evidence for the existence and nature of the relationship. It then describes the results of a...

  Reliability of function points measurement: a field experiment
Kemerer C. Communications of the ACM 36(2): 85-97, 1993.  Type: Article

This research study was conducted to test the accuracy and reliability of the function point software sizing metric. Basically, the study was designed around the hypothesis that estimate replicability is an indicator of estimate reliab...
