Maintainability Estimation of Object Oriented Design: a Systematic Review

Maintainability is one of the most significant quality indicators. Its accurate measurement constantly support and increase the maintenance procedure. An accurate measure of software quality completely depends on maintainability measurement. A number of maintainability theories have been published till date and the maintainability concept has been developed with different research states. At this paper we will talk about some of the essential theories given by some researches in their paper and we will relate those all research with our paper in order to encourage our effort. This paper shows the outcome of a systematic literature review conducted to accumulate the facts on software maintainability estimation of object oriented design. In this review paper, our endeavor is to discover the existing known comprehensive and complete model or framework for measuring the maintainability of object oriented design at an initial stage of development life cycle.
