Abstract
Lack of a commonly defined maintainability model hinders us from evaluating and certifying products with respect to maintainability. We cannot compare different products within and across organisations. We have difficulties to evolve and maintain software. We cannot try new development paradigms and evaluate their effects on product maintainability. We have no commonly defined maintainability model to base our software engineering research. In this paper, we outline a suggestion for a model of maintainability. We advocate to the software community to gather its resources in order to develop the model. Such a model would have a substantial long-term impact within research, industry, standardisation authorities and education. This paper lists ideas for a maintainability
model with the aim to provide an initial milestone for
ample discussion within the software engineering
community.
