Title
Measuring Developers' Contribution in Source Code using Quality Metrics
Abstract
People involved in software development seek better ways of developing quality software. As software development is a collaborative activity dependent on technology and performed by group of people, the quality can be directly linked to the degree of collaboration and commitment of the development team. This research aims to identify and analyze software quality metrics that can measure software development team members' participation regarding their contribution in the project source code. Analyzing such information can contribute with software engineering project managers to conduct and better organize project development teams. To achieve this goal, we defined a set of quality metrics, applied them to open source code and analyzed them in other to evaluate members' contribution. Results show that it is possible to determine whether the team member contribution increase, decrease or had no influence on source code quality.
