Abstract
Engineers consider the presence of dead code as an undesirable attribute of the code base. The industry lacks methods to quantify the benefits of deleting dead code efficiently. The current approach utilizes a simplistic metric that uses the lines of code (LOC) deleted as a proxy to estimate the benefit gained. However, not all LOC are equal. The research community can support the industry and propose methods and metrics that can help to (a) determine the priority order for dead code removal, and (b) quantify the benefits of dead code removal. Improved metrics can result in a more objective ranking of dead code deletion efforts when compared to other competing tasks.
