Abstract
Commercial software development is a complex task that requires a thorough understanding of the architecture of the software system. We analyze the Windows Server 2003 operating system in order to assess the relationship between its software dependencies, churn measures and post-release failures. Our analysis indicates the ability of software dependencies and churn measures to be efficient predictors of post-release failures. Further, we investigate the relationship between the software dependencies and churn measures and their ability to assess failure-proneness probabilities at statistically significant levels.
商业软件开发是一项复杂的任务，需要对软件系统的体系结构有透彻的了解。我们分析了Windows Server 2003操作系统，以评估其软件依赖性、流失度量和发布后失败之间的关系。我们的分析表明，软件依赖关系和流失度量是发布后失败的有效预测指标。进一步，我们研究了软件依赖性和流失度量之间的关系，以及它们在统计显著水平上评估故障倾向概率的能力。
