Maintainability Measurement in Object Oriented Paradigm
Main Article Content
Abstract
Software quality is an integral aspect of development scheme that determines the degree to which the software in use will meet the expectations of the customer. Maintainability has obtained its significance as an attribute of software quality. However in spite of the importance, there are no definite criteria to measure it. Hence great research interest is required for developing and applying sophisticated techniques to estimate software maintenance effort. As the object-oriented systems use a large number of small methods, a unique maintenance problem is associated with it. The relationship between OO metrics and software maintenance effort is complex and non linear. This paper surveys the different studies regarding software maintainability on object-oriented paradigm which provide further assistance in succeeding researches.
