An Approach to Evaluate the Sustainable Evolution Effect of Software Architecture Based on the Measurements of Evolution Principles
we propose software architecture evolution principles (SAEP)to evaluate the evolution effect of software architecture based on the measurements of evolution principles. In SAEP
we firstly propose four representative principles for software architecture evolution.Secondly
the evolution effect of software architecture is evaluated based on the measurement of architecture evolution principles. Finally
eight representative open source projects are performed by experiments for verifying the effectiveness respectively. The experimental results show that a single evolution principle or the combination of four evolution principles can effectively reflect the evolution effect of the software architecture. A single principle focuses on a specific aspect of the evolution effects of the software architecture. The combination of four principles focuses on the comprehensive evolution effects of software architecture.
