Do you know if the paper controlled for all the variables in tandem. For example, I wouldn't think line count is necessarily mutually exclusive to modularization. That is to say, I'd expect well modularized code to reduce line count generally.
- the_af 7y agoI think it did, that's the thing. Unfortunately since I cannot find the paper now, I can't tell you :(
- the_af 7y agoI found a video about the paper: the presenter claims the author of the paper (not the same person) did a double-barrelled correlation and that no metric had better predicting value than "simply doing wc -l on the source code".
