Self-Metric Software. Volume I. Summary of Technical Progress.

Abstract

This report documents the research performed under RADC Contract by Northwestern University in the area of developing effective techniques for large-scale software maintenance, including those for the design, implementation, validation, and evaluation of reliable and maintainable software systems with a high degree of automation. During this contract period, research in the areas of ripple effect analysis, testing during software maintenance, specification for program modifications, quality factors for software maintainability, and dynamic monitoring of program behavior was conducted. In this report, the software maintenance process is first described. The research results which have been presented in previous papers and interim technical reports are summarized, and unfinished work is presented.
