Evaluating Lehman's Laws of Software Evolution within Software Product Lines: A Preliminary Empirical Study
[chapter]
2014
Lecture Notes in Computer Science

Lehman's laws of software evolution were broadly evaluated within this type of systems and the results shown that these single systems evolve according to his stated laws over time. ...
Thus, this paper details an empirical investigation where four of the Lehman's Laws (LL) of Software Evolution were used in an SPL industrial project to understand how the SPL assets evolve over time. ...
