Software Code Maintainability : A Literature Review

A Quantitative Evaluation of Maintainability of Software Architecture Styles

Proper decisions play a crucial role in any software architecture design process. An important decision of design stage is the selection of a suitable software architecture style. Lack of investigation on the quantitative impact of architecture styles on software quality attributes is the main problem in using such styles. Consequently, the use of architecture styles in designing is based on th...

Measuring software maintainability

Simulator for Software Maintainability

According to IEEE Standard Glossary of Software Engineering Terminology: maintainability is the ease with which a software system or component can be modified to correct faults, improve performance or other attributes, or adapt to a changed environment. [1]. Maintainability can also be defined as the probability that a specified maintenance action on a specified item can be successfully perform...

Measurements of Software Maintainability

In this position paper, we describe the research we have just initiated. We will investigate how the “maintainability” of a piece of software changes as time passes and it is being maintained by performing measurements on industrial systems. We present the notion of “maintainability”, our hypotheses, and our approach.
