โœฆ Synopsis


The Gini coefficient is a prominent measure to quantify the inequality of a distribution. It is often used in the field of economy to describe how goods, e.g., wealth or farmland, are distributed among people. We use the Gini coefficient to measure code ownership by investigating how changes made to source code are distributed among the developer population. The results of our study with data from the Eclipse platform show that less bugs can be expected if a large share of all changes are accumulated, i.e., carried out, by relatively few developers.

Many iterative software development methodologies, such as for example eXtreme Programming, state that refactoring is one of the key activities to be undertaken in order to keep the code-base of a project well-structured and consistent. In such a context, poorly structured code may become a signific
