On the Use of Information Theory to Bound the Effectiveness of Unsupervised Software Retrieval
Theoretically, software requirements are able to be transformed into multiple forms of information such as source code, test cases, or design artifacts. We are referring to those requirements or any initial/raw form of information as the source artifacts. On the other hand, the information that is a product of a transformation or alteration is considered a target artifact. In the software engineering context, a transformation could be any action or intervention that a software engineer applies to those requirements. Therefore, the concept of "transmission of information" can be seen as the programming task per se or any generative process. Such a generative process is producing the target artifacts.
