This paper presents a process evaluation for the agile technique of refactoring based on the language C. The basis for this evaluation is made up by an experiment which is targeted on the aspects of increased maintainability and modifiability. Although the maintainability test shows a slight advantage for refactoring, results show no significant strength here. Concerning modifiability, the over...

Introduction: the article is dedicated to assessing condition with respect use for traffic methods of bridges as part hydraulic structures (dams, hydroelectric power stations, locks). The main factors affecting structural element’s durability included in composition are dynamic loads (applied repeatedly and repeated) bay due hydrodynamic effect; temporary, moving from passing highway transporta...

A large number of software products enter the maintenance phase due to the growing application of information systems. Software maintenance is the modification of a software product after delivery to correct faults and improve its overall performance and quality. Easily maintainable software saves large costs and effort involved in developing the software. Hence maintainability assessment is an...

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...

The software architecture has been identified as an important part of a software system. Further, the software architecture impacts the quality attributes of a system, e.g., performance and maintainability. Therefore, methods for evaluating the quality attributes of software architectures are important. In this paper, we present a survey of software architecture evaluation methods. We focus on ...
