Abstract
There is a dearth of studies that identified threshold values of Chidamber and Kemerer (CK) metrics. In an empirical study on open-source software, Eclipse project—Version 3.0, we identified the thresholds values for CBO, RFC and WMC at two levels of risks using a quantitative methodology based on the logistic regression curve. These threshold values can be used to identify the most error-prone classes.
