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...

The demand for efficient software system is increasing day by day. Maintainability is considered as an important quality factor for developing the efficient software system. Recent trends show that mostly software systems are using object-oriented technique to develop the quality software products. Object-oriented approach enhances the maintainability of software system. In literature there are...

This paper describes a method for prediction of software qualities from the software architecture level using scenarios. The method takes the specification of the architecture as input and generates a prediction of the modified volume for the average maintenance task. The scenarios are used to analyse the architecture and to derive a prediction of the maintainability. The method is based on exp...

-This paper presents the relation between software metrics and maintainability and the metrics which characterise the ease of the maintenance process when applied to a specific product. The criteria of maintainability and the methods through which these criteria are understood and interpreted by software programmers are analysed. Surveys and examples that show whether software metrics and maint...

In recent years for achieving considerable success in software system, maintainability plays a very crucial role and it is considered as an important quality characteristics. In this paper a maintainability model has been proposed to compare maintainability of object-oriented software system. Attempts have been made on software developed in different programming languages to make comparison of ...

Our study is focused on an evaluation of the maintainability characteristic in context long-term evolution open-source software. According to well established software quality models such as ISO 9126 and more recent 25010, remains among key characteristics alongside performance, security reliability. To achieve our objective, we selected three complex, widely used target applications for which ...

Service engineering and service-oriented architecture as an integration and platform technology is a recent approach to software systems integration. Quality aspects ranging from interoperability to maintainability to performance are of central importance for the integration of heterogeneous, distributed service-based systems. Architecture models can substantially influence quality attributes o...

Software maintainability is a very important quality attribute. Its prediction for relational database-driven software applications can help organizations improve the maintainability of these applications. The research presented herein adopts a survey-based approach where a survey was conducted with 40 software professionals aimed at identifying and ranking the important maintainability predict...
