A Source-Code Maintainability Evaluation Model for Software Products
Science, Engineering and Technology, 2023 The maintainability index (MI) has been proposed to calculate a single number which expresses the maintainability of a system. This article presents a model for evaluating the maintainability of software products.

Surveying the factors that influence maintainability: research design [PDF]
, 2005 We want to explore and analyse design decisions that influence maintainability of software. Software maintainability is important because the effort expended on changes and fixes in software is a major cost driver.
