Ferreira, M.A. Luijten, B. Visser, J. Faculty Delft University of Technology Date 2011-05-11 Abstract We performed an empirical study of the relation between technical quality of software products and the issue resolution performance of their maintainers. In particular, we tested the hypothesis that ratings for source code maintainability, as employed by the Software Improvement Group (SIG) quality model, are correlated with ratings for issue resolution speed. We tested the hypothesis for issues of type defect and of type enhancement. This study revealed that all but one of the metrics of the SIG quality model show a significant positive correlation with the resolution speed of defects, enhancements, or both.
