Abstract

In this paper, we present a case study of applying the metrics Mutation Index, Component Set, Dependency Index [1] on Morphbank- a web based bioinformatics application - to track the effects of changing requirements on a software system and suggest design modifications to mitigate such impact. Morphbank is "an open web repository of biological images documenting specimen-based research in comparative anatomy, morphological phylogenetics, taxonomy and related fields focused on increasing our knowledge about biodiversity" [2]. This paper discusses the context of the case study, analyzes the results, highlights observations and learning, and mentions directions of future work.
