Abstract
This thesis presents an investigation into the usefulness of software measurement techniques, also known as software metrics, for software written in functional programming languages such as Haskell. Statistical analysis is performed on a selection of metrics for Haskell programs, some taken from the world of imperative languages. An attempt is made to assess the utility of various metrics in predicting likely places that bugs may occur in practice by correlating bug fixes with metric values within the change histories of a number of case study programs. This work also examines mechanisms for visualising the results of the metrics and shows some proof of concept implementations for Haskell programs, and notes the usefulness of such tools in other software engineering processes such as refactoring.
