Empirical evaluation
CodeCity has been used in a controlled experiment to empirically validate the Software Systems as Cities
approach against the state of the practice in software development. The results of the experiment, published
in the ICSE 2011 proceedings, showed that CodeCity enabled solutions to reverse engineering tasks which were
24% more correct and obtained in
12% less time than when using Eclipse or
spreadsheets with metric data.
Replicability
To make the replication of this experiment easier, we provide all the artifacts we designed and used during
the experiment.
