Abstract
While mining version control systems, researchers noticed that some artifacts frequently change together throughout software development. When a certain artifact co-changes repeatedly with another, we say that the former is change coupledto the latter. Researchers have found a series of applications for change coupling in software engineering. For instance, building on the idea that artifacts that changed together in the past are likely to change together in the future, researchers ...
