Larger Subroutines == Fewer Defects
Why is the defect density curve U-shaped with component size?
This paper explores the empirical results of a number of recent (and not-so-recent) papers showing that larger software components are proportionately much more reliable than smaller software components within the same system up to a certain size after which they rapidly deteriorate. This is strongly counter-intuitive to basic notions of software engineering such as modularisation.If this is true, how should it affect the design of programming languages?
