Abstract

To detect flaws, bad smells, etc, we often use quantitative methods: metrics or measures. It is common in practice to use thresholds setting the correctness of the measures. Most of the current tools use absolute values. Nevertheless, there is a certain concern about threshold applications on obtained values. Current work tries to accomplish case studies about thresholds on several products and different versions. By other side, product domain and size could also affect the results. We tackle if it is correct to use absolute vs. relative thresholds, seeing that effects could have in metric collection and bad smell detection.
