Predicting stability of classes in an object-oriented system by Azar, D.

“…However, in almost all cases, these models were not efficient when used to predict the quality characteristics (stability or other) of new unseen software as their prediction accuracy decreases significantly. In this paper, we present a heuristic approach that relies on the adaptation and recombination of already built predictive models to new unseen software.The predictive models are all rule-based models and the approach is tested on the stability of classes in an object-oriented software system. …”
