You are cordially invited by the COE/ICS, to attend a Graduate Seminar, on the above given title, by Mr. Mawal Ali Abdo Mohammed, MS Student, Information and Computer Science Department, 09th April, 2013, at 02:30 PM, in Building 22, Room 132.
Abstract: Context: UML has become the de facto for the design of software systems. A lot of work has been conducted to investigate the relationship between software quality attributes and UML design metrics. There has not been an attempt to summarize that work in a systematic manner. So we decided to perform a systematic literature review to investigate that relationship.
Objective: We have two objectives of performing this systematic review. The first is to understand the relationship between the UML diagrams design metrics and the external quality attribute. The second is to identify the research gaps in this area.
Results: 14 primary studies are identified from among 355. Also, 8 relationships were identified between the UML diagram metrics and the external quality attribute. Some of those relationships were positive, some were negative, and some show no significance.
Conclusion: We concluded that UML design metrics can act as a good indicator for external software quality attributes. Also, we found only a few number of relationships have been investigated and more investigation is required to cover all the possible relationships.
