Abstract

During a software development process, changes happen in almost every phase: requirements, design implementation, and maintenance. Software-change impact analysis, or simply impact analysis (IA), has been recognized as a key maintenance activity. IA aims at estimating the potentially impacted entities of a system due to a proposed change. In this paper, we present a study to investigate the role of programming languages in change impact analysis. We try to find whether changes made in different language programs have same impact on different entities or not same. In this study IA is based on number of files impacted, number of revisions impacted, number of developers involved and changes made per hour.
