Structure of iReport (OO Design)

2006-06-03 00:07

I am a PhD student at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. As part of my research I am doing empirical studies on the structure (or design) of software systems. In order to do this I have conglomerated a large corpus of open-source Java software. IReports features in this corpus. I have made available the results of this study on my webpage:

 

http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~hayden/corpus.htm

 

The results show that iReports has ~160 source files all involved in one big dependency cycle. I have explained why large dependency cycles are bad on my research page, you can get to it by following the link above.

 

Anyway, if you’re a developer of iReports, or are interested in OO Design or metrics you might like to check this stuff out.
