Impact of Design Patterns on Software Maintainability

This paper mainly studies the effect of design patterns on the Software maintainability. Design patterns describe solutions for common design problems and they were introduced to improve software quality and accelerate software development. However, there are some difficulties to choose an optimal pattern adapted to a certain application and problem. So until now the results on the effect of de...

Experience Measuring Maintainability in Software Product Lines

Families of applications are steadily emerging for distinct settings such as embedded systems, navigational systems, financial applications or even web applications. This moves the attention from single application development to Software Product Line (SPL) development where the focus is on constructing reusable artefacts of the assembly line from which final products are obtained. This paper p...

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...

Deening and Measuring Maintainability

Maintainability is a measure of the ease with which a software system can be maintained. In this paper we propose a quantitative deenition 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 eeort is useful inasmuchas it allows us to predict the maintainability of a software system a...
