Measuring Software Maintainability

In our previous blog post titled “The Effects of Software Maintainability”, we reviewed what maintainability can potentially influence. To manage the actual consequences, we must be able to control maintainability itself. This requires decision making and the execution of all the supporting actions. The decision making process applied can either be intuition- or fact-based. In this blog post, we will learn about how to measure the maintainability of software systems to extract facts for reliable and well informed decisions.
