%0 Journal Article %T Towards Performance Measurement And Metrics Based Analysis of PLA Applications %A Zeeshan Ahmed %J International Journal of Software Engineering & Applications %D 2010 %I Academy & Industry Research Collaboration Center (AIRCC) %X This article is about a measurement analysis based approach to help software practitioners in managingthe additional level complexities and variabilities in software product line applications. The architectureof the proposed approach i.e. ZAC is designed and implemented to perform preprocessesed source codeanalysis, calculate traditional and product line metrics and visualize results in two and three dimensionaldiagrams. Experiments using real time data sets are performed which concluded with the results that theZAC can be very helpful for the software practitioners in understanding the overall structure andcomplexity of product line applications. Moreover the obtained results prove strong positive correlationbetween calculated traditional and product line measures. %K Analysis %K Measurement %K Software product lines %K Variability %U http://airccse.org/journal/ijsea/papers/0710ijsea5.pdf
