| Defining and Measuring Maintainability (1995) | |||||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||||
| Maintainability is a measure of the ease with which a software system can be maintained. In this paper we propose a quantitative definition of maintainability, and discuss means to estimate the maintainability of a software system on the basis of a static analysis of its deliverables. Such an estimation effort is useful inasmuchas it allows us to predict the maintainability of a software system at delivery time. | |||||||||||||||
