An empirical study on dependence clusters for effort-aware fault-proneness prediction
ASE '16: Proceedings of the 31st IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software EngineeringPages 296–307https://doi.org/10.1145/2970276.2970353A dependence cluster is a set of mutually inter-dependent program elements. Prior studies have found that large dependence clusters are prevalent in software systems. It has been suggested that dependence clusters have potentially harmful effects on ...

Empirical investigation of SEA-based dependence cluster properties
Science of Computer Programming (SCPR), Volume 105, Issue CPages 3–25https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scico.2014.09.010Dependence clusters are (maximal) groups of source code entities that each depend on the other according to some dependence relation. Such clusters are generally seen as detrimental to many software engineering activities, but their formation and ...

Impact Analysis in the Presence of Dependence Clusters Using Static Execute after in WebKit
SCAM '12: Proceedings of the 2012 IEEE 12th International Working Conference on Source Code Analysis and ManipulationPages 24–33https://doi.org/10.1109/SCAM.2012.22Impact analysis based on code dependence can be an integral part of software quality assurance by providing opportunities to identify those parts of the software system that are affected by a change. Because changes usually have far reaching effects in ...
