Determination of Maintainability Index for Object Oriented Systems

Abstract

In Object Oriented System, the quality of software depends significantly on the decision taken at early phases of the development. As per available artefact, quality of the class description is very crucial for system development. Maintenance is to repair defects in software, to adapt the software to different operational environments and to add or modify the functionality of the system. In Object Oriented Systems, maintainability factor needs more aspects to explore. We have proposed Maintainability Index using Package Metrics. We performed empirical evaluation using three case studies.
