A Roadmap of Software System Maintainability Models

Software engineering has become one of the emerging research areas with extensive use of software in the industrial world. Software must be well developed and well maintained to adapt to ever changing requirements of the competitive world. The paper is targeted to present the record of various maintainability techniques or models used so far for software and its applications be it object oriented paradigms or web based applications. This paper reveals all about various parameters including both source code metrics and design metrics used for measuring maintainability of software systems by collecting datasets from different fields including industries, research centres and student projects.
