Development and Application of an Automated Source Code Maintainability Index

Journal of Software: Evolution and Process, 1997
When software maintenance results in changing the source code, the change frequently occurs in an undisciplined manner that results in source code that is inherently more difficult to maintain. The long-term effect may be thought of as a downward spiral that culminates in virtually ‘unmaintainable’ code where it is more cost effective to just start ...

Performance of Maintainability Index prediction models: a feature selection based study

Evolving Systems, 2017
Numerous design metrics have been studied in the literature to assess software performance and future maintainability issues. Maintainability Index (MI) is an indicator of software maintenance efforts, but that can be computed only after the complete code is developed. MI is complex to calculate and hence has been estimated by several researchers using

Research on the evaluation index of maintainability of manned spacecraft on-orbit

2014 10th International Conference on Reliability, Maintainability and Safety (ICRMS), 2014
The main target of equipment layout in manned spacecraft is to build a safe and comfortable circumstance for astronauts. By discussing the effects of space environment to maintainability design of manned spacecraft, the evaluation index was proposed based on the difference between on-orbit maintenance and ground maintenance.

A proposed new model for maintainability index of open source software

Proceedings of 3rd International Conference on Reliability, Infocom Technologies and Optimization, 2014
Software metrics play a key role in measuring attributes that are important for the success of a software project. Measurements of these metrics tell us various key aspects of system. This in turn supports knowledgeable decision making by which we can enhance the quality of system.

Software Maintainability Metrics Based on the Index System and Fuzzy Method

2009 First International Conference on Information Science and Engineering, 2009
An index system is proposed to solve the problem of software maintainability metrics. On the basis of quantitative procedural information, this paper uses Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to determine the weight of the evaluation indices, uses the fuzzy evaluation method to deal with the quality of the indices, gets the quantitative result of software ...

Re-visiting the 'Maintainability Index' Metric from an Object-Oriented Perspective

2015 41st Euromicro Conference on Software Engineering and Advanced Applications, 2015
The Maintainability Index (MI) metric was proposed in the early nineties to gauge ease of code maintenance. A high value of MI indicates well-constructed code which is easy to maintain and a low MI, the opposite. The metric has been criticized in the past and more recently for its applicability to code and validity more generally.

Developing and Maintaining an Equity Index Fund

Journal of the Operational Research Society, 1990
An index fund is a portfolio of shares designed to replicate the investment performance of a market index. The index represents the behaviour of the market as a whole. This paper describes the selection of an index fund which minimizes expected tracking error.
