Software Architecture Quality Measurement Stability and Understandability

Abstract

Abstract-Over the past years software architecture has become an important sub-field of software engineering. There has been substantial advancement in developing new technical approaches to start handling architectural design as an engineering discipline. Measurement is an essential part of any engineering discipline. Quantifying the quality attributes of the software architecture will reveal good insights about the architecture. It will also help architects and practioners to choose the best fit of alternative architectures that meets their needs. This work paves the way for researchers to start investigating ways to measure software architecture quality attributes. Measurement of these qualities is essential for this sub-field of software engineering. This work explores Stability and Understandability of software architecture, several metrics that affect them, and literature review of these qualities.

Security assessment of four open source software systems

“…Techniques like fault injection are employed to counter vulnerabilities in web applications [17][18] authors have used a cross-site scripting technique for testing vulnerabilities in open source applications. [19][20] highlights in the selection of software metrics that can help in the evaluation of the system that covers the evaluation of the security of the system. [20] highlights how cyclomatic complexity and source code can help in detecting vulnerabilities.…”

Implementation of Web Technology for Tourism and Creative Industry Data Collection

“…That requires a large budget for the process of conducting field surveys. One of the indicators that can be used to measure the quality of useful information is accurate [8], relevance [9], and understandability [10]. Tourism is a dynamic activity that involves many people and enlivens various business fields.…”
