Capturing and using design rationale is becoming a hot topic for software architects, as architectural design decisions are now considered first class entities that should be reco...
In the context of open source development or software evolution, developers are often faced with test suites which have been developed with no apparent rationale and which may nee...
In this paper, we propose a fine-grained coupling metrics suite for aspect-oriented (AO) systems, to measure software changes during system evolution. We also present a correlati...
