Papers, Presentations and Books

Finding relevant to IfSQ Standards:

• A study at IBM found that the most error-prone routines were those larger than 500 lines of code

IfSQ Defect Indicators:

• SP-1—Routine Too Long
  Routines longer than 150 lines (excluding comments and blank lines) have been shown to be less stable, more subject to change, and more expensive to fix than shorter routines.
