- Network Versus Code Metrics to Predict Defects: A Replication Study, Premraj & Herzig (2011). 2011 International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement. Outcome recorded: mixed.
However, when we evaluated the metrics using setups more suited for industrial use -- forward-release and cross-project prediction -- we found network metrics to offer no vantage over code metrics.
