Software Documentation Guidelines For Maintainability
… an important software quality attribute called maintainability. Software maintenance however is an expensive process in both time and financial cost and can account for a majority of a system's overall lifetime cost. It would be beneficial then to have a set of guidelines for obtaining a higher …

Predicting maintainability with software quality metrics
Maintenance of software makes up a large fraction of the time and money spent in the software life cycle. By reducing the need for maintenance these costs can also be reduced. Predicting where maintenance is likely to occur can, help to reduce maintenance by prevention. This thesis details a study …

Maintainability prediction for relational database-driven software applications
Software maintainability is a key quality attribute of software systems. Its prediction can enable organizations to make informed decisions about managing their maintenance resources and adopting a defensive design. Relational database-driven software applications are the most widely developed and …

Fatigue and fracture reliability and maintainability process for structural systems.
… In summary, the fatigue/fracture reliability and maintainability (FRM) process for a structural system is a "replacement/repair renewal" process complicated by a large number of random variables and small failure probabilities for a typical system. The goal of this research is to develop an …

A novel model for improving the maintainability of web-based systems
… and models for predicting web applications’ maintainability must be used. Maintainability metrics and models can be useful for predicting maintenance cost, risky components and can help in assessing and choosing between different software artifacts. Since, web applications are different from …

Multi-objective system optimisation with respect to availability, maintainability and cost
Safety critical engineering systems are becoming increasingly larger and more complex. One way of ensuring the dependability of such systems is via architectural redundancy and replication of components. Use of redundancy has its limitations though, as it can increase the size, weight and cost of a …

Investigating the use of ensemble techniques in predicting object-oriented software maintainability
Context: Prediction of the maintainability of classes in object-oriented systems is a significant factor for software success; however, it is a challenging task. Although prior object-oriented software maintainability literature acknowledges the role of machine learning techniques as valuable …

A methodology for integrating maintainability into large-scale software using software metrics
Maintainability must be integrated into software as early in the development life cycle as possible to avoid overwhelming maintenance costs at later stages. This research describes a methodology which assists in the development of maintainable systems and does so without disrupting industry …

Automated Graph-Based Data Integration and Information Fusion: An Open-Source Ecosystem of Tools With a Focus on Maintainability and Usability
Information is a vital part of research. While there are likely exceptions, almost all research projects process or produce data, or both. Storage of information in digital form provides many advantages, such as large capacities or easy and immediate access across locations. However, new challenges …
