Sebastian Hönel from Linnaeus University has, in his computer science dissertation, introduced a new method to measure and enhance the quality of software processes. The method focuses on understanding how software is developed and the changes that occur over time. By utilizing digital data from the development process combined with expert- and data-driven analysis, one can predict issues and decide on potential improvements.
One of the new tools that Sebastian Hönel has developed is a metric called “source code density.” This metric indicates the true amount of code present in a software application relative to its overall size. It aids in determining whether the code is compact and efficient or if it’s dispersed and contains superfluous code.
