| Abstract(in English) | This paper explores date and size of source code upgrades in open source software development, and considers mathematical models for predicting source code stability using a lot of statistical data on the above code upgrades. The preliminary empirical study in this paper collects 5959 version-upgrade data from three large-scale open source software, and constructs the mathematical models using Gompertz curve for representing (1) amount of code changes, (2) lines of code (LOC), and (3) method counts. The empirical results show that each model for (1), (2) and (3) could fit their real values within 10% errors, and those models would be useful in data predictions when those models are constructed using code upgrade data accumulated for 500～1700 days. |
