Software Design Quality-Style and Substance
software development texts references tools and au thorities provide advise on go o d software design and pro gramming styles Unfortunately most of the evidence to support the value of this advise consists of intuition and anecdotes We are working to objectively determine the value of recommended style guides on largescale real world software systems we are studying both proprietary commer cial and open source systems Our work involves determin ing whether or not style recommendations are followed and how these styles aect external quality factors such as fault and changeproneness and maintainability Early results in dicate that style guidelines are often violated In addition we have found that in contrast with common claims one design recommendation the use of design patterns can lead to more change prone rather than less change prone classes

In the research on software development, there was less achievement in an efficient general development methodology that could be effective and sufficient in dealing with a wide range of software problems related to different domains. Also a challenge of having a universal
can increase dramatically Schach et al studied the evolution of the open source Linus kernel through versions They found that common coupling between kernel modules is growing at an exponential rate while the kernel module size is growing linearly Eventually the kernel may become unmaintainable requiring a major redesign effort We plan to examine the Linux kernel and other open source systems to further examine whether coupling and other negative properties are increasing at an alarming rate 5. CONCLUSIONSAdvise on good program design structure and good pro gramming practice should b e based on objective studies Such studies depend upon large sets of data consisting of software artifacts These software artifacts should be gen erally available so that the research community can use the same b enchmarks to evaluate new tools techniques and advise We are working towards developing a software en gineering research repository by collecting and cataloging software artifacts The repository will be available as a re source for the software engineering research and practitioner community
