the amount of code added, deleted or changed in a component over a period, used in relative form as a predictor of defect density.

In software engineering, code churn refers to the amount of code added, deleted or changed in a component over a period, used in relative form as a predictor of defect density. This meaning comes from Nagappan (2005) in Proceedings of the 27th international conference on Software engineering - ICSE '05.[1]
