This paper proposes a technique for identifying areas within system designs that may be prone to future corrective or preventative maintenance activity. From that, this paper presents a set of measures that can be applied at the design stage of software development to support the production of more

โฆ Synopsis
There exists a lot of methodology hints, software inspection and review handbooks and metrics tools to support the efficient application of software metrics. The analysis of the different evaluation, counting and measurement results should be supported by database techniques to keep control of the software process. This paper describes the different sources of metrics data and addresses the issue of an effective handling of these data in a unified data model. A first approach is presented for a sample of measurement tasks and applications. It reflects ongoing research in identifying fundamental principles of software metrics database design.

In this article we present a preliminary cognitive model of the process of software design. Our goal was to develop a model of expert problem-solving skills for a task in which domain knowledge played an extensive role. In our model the process of design is captured via goals-and-operators interacti
