A Study on Relationship between Source Code Change Chain and Stability in Maintenance Phase
Jun Morisaki, Hirohisa Aman (Ehime Univ.) KBSE2007-10
Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In source code maintenance activities, some code fragments have been changed continuously for some version upgrades. Such continuous changes form a ``chain'' of change. This paper focuses on an impact of change-chain onto a source code stability, and performs an empirical study with an open source development project, Eclipse. The empirical results show the followings: ($1$) a termination of change-chain in a source code enhances the code stability; ($2$) a short change-chain makes a code more stable; ($3$) about $18\%$ of change chains would be coutinued to the next version upgrade.
