The Interpretation of Maintainability Quality Attribute into Assessed Requirements

摘要

Maintainability denotes the ease of a defect correction or software changes that is extremely dependent on how simple the software can be understood and tested. The flexibility of a system is strongly linked to the maintainability of a system. High maintainability is essential for systems that are to go through periodical revisions and for products that are developed quickly. Most of the researchers do not have the adequate knowledge to define how maintainability quality factor should be assessed. This paper aims to claim the entities to be used in placing maintainability requirements and describe them into metrics. Then the main contribution of the proposed manuscript is the interpretation of the vague external maintainability quality attribute or in other words the imprecise non-functional requirements into specific structured functional requirements for implementation in the software system project
