A Model of Maintainability - Suggestion for Future Research
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lack of a commonly defined maintainability model hinders us from evaluating and certifying products with respect to maintainability. We cannot compare different products within and across organisations. We have difficulties to evolve and maintain software. We cannot try new development paradigms and evaluate their effects on product maintainability. We have no commonly defined maintainability model to base our software engineering research. In this paper, we outline a suggestion for a model of maintainability. We advocate to the software community to gather its resources in order to develop the model. Such a model would have a substantial long-term impact within research, industry, standardisation authorities and education. This paper lists ideas for a maintainability model with the aim to provide an initial milestone for ample discussion within the software engineering community.

Maintainability measure based on operating environment, a case study: Sungun copper mine
The life cycle cost of a system is influenced by its maintainability. Maintainability is a design parameter, whose operational conditions can affect it significantly. Hence, the effects of these operational conditions should be quantified early in the design phase. The proportional repair model (PRM), which is developed based on the proportional hazard model (PHM), can be used to analyze mainta...

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...

A condition based preventive and corrective maintenance policy is proposed for a continuously operating system. The condition of the system is assumed to deteriorate with time. The model incorporates both deterioration as well as random common cause failures. The deterioration stages are modeled as discrete state processes. The system is put to random inspection to know the condition. The mean ...
