A Granular Hierarchical Multiview Metrics Suite for Statecharts Quality
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper presents a bottom-up approach for a multiview measurement of statechart size, topological properties, and internal structural complexity for understandability prediction and assurance purposes. It tackles the problem at different conceptual depths or equivalently at several abstraction levels. The main idea is to study and evaluate a statechart at different levels of granulation corresponding to different conceptual depth levels or levels of details. The higher level corresponds to a flat process view diagram (depth = 0), the adequate upper depth limit is determined by the modelers according to the inherent complexity of the problem under study and the level of detail required for the situation at hand (it corresponds to the all states view). For purposes of measurement, we proceed using bottom-up strategy starting with all state view diagram, identifying and measuring its deepest composite states constituent parts and then gradually collapsing them to obtain the next intermediate view (we decrement depth) while aggregating measures incrementally, until reaching the flat process view diagram. To this goal we first identify, define, and derive a relevant metrics suite useful to predict the level of understandability and other quality aspects of a statechart, and then we propose a fuzzy rule-based system prototype for understandability prediction, assurance, and for validation purposes.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
