Dissertation submitted for the fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Masters in Information Technology, Department of Information Technology, Faculty of Accounting and Informatics, Durban University of Technology, 2008. / Competitive pressure on the software industry encourages organizations to examine the effectiveness of their software development and evolutionary processes. Therefore it is important that software is measured in order to improve the quality. The question is not whether we should measure software but how it should be measured. Software measurement has been in existence for over three decades and it is still in the process of becoming a mature science. The many influences of new software development technologies have led to a diverse growth in software measurement technologies which have resulted in various definitions and validation techniques. An important aspect of software measurement is the measurement of the design, which nowadays often means the measurement of object oriented design. Chidamer and Kemerer (1994) designed a metric suite for object oriented design, which has provided a new foundation for metrics and acts as a starting point for further development of the software measurement science. This study documents theoretical object oriented cohesion metrics and calculates those metrics for classes extracted from a sample of open source software packages. For each open source software package, the following data is recorded: software size, age, domain, number of developers, number of bugs, support requests, feature requests, etc. The study then tests by means of association rules which theoretical cohesion metrics are validated hypothesis: that older software is more cohesive than younger software, bigger packages is less cohesive than smaller packages, and the smaller the software program the more maintainable it is. This study attempts to validate existing theoretical object oriented cohesion metrics by mining open source software data with association rules.

La Règle de s. Augustin se présente comme la plus ancienne Règle monastique occidentale, dont la pérennité peut surprendre, eu égard à sa brièveté. La thèse se propose d’estimer sa valeur éducative, en se situant au niveau du praticien : les prescriptions sont-elles aptes à transmettre un « savoir-être » monastique conforme au propositum originel ?La démarche se fonde sur une lecture-audition de l’écrit. Cette étape pratique vient introduire une analyse formelle de la pédagogie augustinienne : la Règle se révèle conforme aux exigences classiques d’une œuvre éducative, dont la densité invite à des éclairages de la part des auditeurs-formateurs.Une phase objective peut suivre : l’écrit offre un contenu décisif sur les réalités cénobitiques. Prennent ici place les analyses lexicales autour de unum, frater, in Deum, caritas et dilectio.Une phase subjective clôt la démarche par un examen de l’identité monastique et de sa réalisation au travers de la Règle. / St. Augustine’s Rule appears to be the most ancient western monastic Rule. Its durability may be surprising, since it is very short. The purpose of this thesis is to consider its educative value, from the practitioner’s point of view: are the instructions able to convey a monastic “savoir-être (way of behaving)”, in accordance with the original propositum?The approach is based on a reading-listening of the Rule. This practical stage introduces a formal analysis of Augustinian pedagogy: the Rule is in accordance with the classical requirements of an educative work, but its density demands clarification on the part of the listener-trainers.An objective stage may follow: the Rule offers decisive content on cenobitic realities. This involves lexical analysis of the terms unum, frater, in Deum, caritas and dilectio.A subjective stage closes the approach, with an examination of monastic identity and its realisation throughout the Rule.
