Overview:

This paper investigates the phenomena of dependency changes - changes to software systems caused by other changes. Dependency changes are one measure of the level of interdependency in a software module, therefore a good approximation to the study of dependency management in software development. Survey responses from 148 software developers indicate that the frequency of occurrence of dependency changes is negatively correlated with project duration, configuration management tool usage, and software developers experience with the programming language and with the role they play.
