Abstract
Counting rules in the software metrics field have been developed for counting such software measurables as the occurence of operators, operands and the number of lines of code. A variety of software metrics, such as those developed by Halstead and others, are computed from these numbers. Published material in the software metrics field has concentrated on relationships between various metrics, comparisions of values obtained for different languages, etc. Yet, little, if anything has been published on assumptions, experimental designs, or the nature of the counting tools (or programs) themselves used to obtain the basic measurements from which these metrics are calculated.

Computational intelligence in software defects rules discovery
AbstractNowadays, due to the constant increase in size and complexity of the software systems imposed by their evolution, developing qualitative software systems becomes a highly important task. To achieve this goal, early detection of software defects is ...
