An Empirical Validation of Understandability Quantification Model

Mohd Nazir, Raees Ahmad Khan · Procedia Technology · 2012

Understandability is one of the key aspects in developing quality software; it largely influences cost or the reliability at software evolution and maintenance. False interpretation leads to ambiguities, misunderstanding and hence the misinterpretations of development process and the related documents, which often results to faulty developments. Despite the fact that understandability is vital and highly significant aspect for software development process, it is poorly managed. In this paper, author highlights the significance of understandability in general and as a factor of software testability. The paper briefly describes the proposed model for understandability quantification. Further, it includes the empirical validation of the model as the author's main contribution.
