Revisiting The Debate: Are Code Metrics Useful For Measuring Maintenance Effort? by gholmorad is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study investigates the relationship between source code metrics and software maintenance effort, focusing on method-level granularity using data from 730K Java methods across 47 open source projects. The findings suggest that while code metrics can predict maintenance effort, their effectiveness varies significantly depending on the evaluation context, including the maintenance indicator used and method size. The authors argue for a context-sensitive approach to developing future maintenance models, mo
