Injecting Quantifiability to Promote Software Maintenance
Syed Rizwan Ali, Azmat Khan, Muhammad Shahid Khan, Bilal Muhammad Iqbal · International Journal of Scientific and Engineering Research · 2015
Generally, the power of quantifiability is underestimated. Life cycle costs are dependent on software system maintenance costs. Systems engineering can improve with a more structured effort, by setting proper targets instead of applying conventional customs that seem right but in actual may not be sufficient. The maintenance process becomes more efficient once the maintainability process is quantifiable. All requirements should possess capability to be quantitatively measureable, which will eventually result in better software products. Targeted aims and software metrics are essential components to quantify software systems. The degree of software product maintainability is dependent upon several software metrics described in this paper.
