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 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 ...

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...

Context: Class maintainability is the likelihood that a class can be easily modified. Before releasing an object-oriented software system, it is impossible to know with certainty when, where, how, and how often a class will be modified. At that stage, this likelihood can be estimated using the internal quality attributes of a class, which include cohesion, coupling, and size. To reduce the futu...

The software engineering community aims to achieve and maintain high-efficient practical activities. One of the techniques used for this purpose is Test-Driven Development (TDD), which a cyclic test-centered development method positively related maintainability, may vary depending on context application. Previous research has indicated that TDD's benefits maintainability be due improved focus c...

Security is a requirement of utmost importance to produce high-quality software. However, there still considerable amount vulnerabilities being discovered and fixed almost weekly. We hypothesize that developers affect the maintainability their codebases when patching vulnerabilities. This paper evaluates impact patches improve security on open-source Maintainability measured based Better Code H...

Over the last decade, several authors have studied the maintainability of software architectures. In particular; the assessment of maintainability has received attention. However; even when one has a quantitative assessment of the maintainability of a software architecture, one still does not have any indication of the optimality of the software architecture with respect to this quality attribu...
