Abstract
Previous research has identified a number of metrics derived from program slicing. In this paper we discuss how these metrics relate to the effort required to evolve an existing software-based system. Whilst our interest in this work stems from our development of simulation models of long-term software evolution processes, it will also be directly relevant to the managers of software evolution activities.
