Abstract

Identifiers such as variable names and function names in source code are essential information to understand code. The naming for identifiers affects on code understandability, thus, we expect that they affect on software quality. In this study, we examine the relationship between the length of identifiers and existence of software faults in a software module. The results of experiment using the random forest technique show that there is a positive relationship between the length of identifier and existence of software faults.
