For this reason, concentration of knowledge in software projects tends to be more risky than in other domains. To express this risk, practitioners proposed the notion of Truck Factor, as a measure of concentration of knowledge in software projects. There are also algorithms that estimate this measure automatically, usually by extracting and processing data from software repositories. However, we still lack large studies that assess the results of Truck Factor algorithms. Therefore, in this dissertation, we first carried out a comparative study of such algorithms. We also investigate the relation between the concepts of Truck Factor and Core Developers, showing that the former are in most cases a subset of the latter. Finally, we analyze the relation between Truck Factor and software architectures. As a result, we recommend that measures of Truck Factor should consider the relative importance of the classes in a software project.UFMGORIGINALmivian_marques_ferreira.pdfapplication/pdf1992833https://repositorio.ufmg.br//bitstreams/23d1266d-9564-4be2-b2c0-26f2f0e19a74/download4146d7c5362ecb5859ef417e68a45ed0MD51trueAnonymousREADTEXTmivian_marques_ferreira.pdf.txttext/plain124082https://repositorio.ufmg.br//bitstreams/cce00e74-1702-4578-ab72-44ccc834749f/downloade83b17335366274512871040e92c274eMD52falseAnonymousREAD1843/JCES-ARNGU92025-09-08 20:25:58.75open.accessoai:repositorio.ufmg.br:1843/JCES-ARNGU9https://repositorio.ufmg.br/Repositório InstitucionalPUBhttps://repositorio.ufmg.br/oairepositorio@ufmg.bropendoar:2025-09-08T23:25:58Repositório Institucional da UFMG - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false
