Softw are Maintainability Evaluation Based on Quantitive Model

摘要

Software maintainability is one of the most important factors of software quality,but it is seriously difficult to evaluate the maintainability. Without evaluation,it is impossible to control. To estimate software maintainability state,parameter system of software was built up and maintainability state was defined into three states.Thought of application on maintainability evaluation based on hidden Markov chain( HMC) and fuzzy inference was presented.Three-state maintainability estimation model was constructed. To testify the feasibility of the model, a real example of software maintenance activity was carried out and the result from the example validated that the results of this study were applicable.
