Gaming is a major entertainment to the world. It plays an important role in reducing the stress of many people. Constructing a game with high Quality is an important aspect. The quality of gaming software depends on many factors such as reliability, usability, maintainability, and other factors. Maintainability is a predominant factor among them as it affects the cost of open source gaming projects. It is important to forecast the consequence of such a crucial factor ahead of releasing the games as they are nonprofitable to the developers. In this paper, we collected 25 open source gaming application developed in various programming languages with the help of visualization and statistical approach to examine the maintainability of gaming applications. OSS gaming has an acceptable level of maintainability with a vast behavioral difference between metrics.

“…Maintainability is a function of modularity, descriptiveness, consistency, simplicity, expandability and instrumentation (Peercy, 1981). When we maintain software, it grows in size and complexity with a decrease in understandability and adaptability (Pfleeger and Bohner, 1990).…”

Software maintenance management can be improved through explicit consideration of the impact of maintenance efforts on project risk, maintainability risk and usability risks, including functionality, performance, financial and software failure risk. The paper illustrates how to analyse the effect of maintenance on software failure risk. I also show how risk analysis can guide important maintenance decisions: determining whether to redevelop software, prioritizing maintenance efforts, allocating resources and planning release schedules.

“…Dave: The culmination of the work with AFOTEC was the development of a Risk Assessment Methodology for Software Supportability (RAMSS). As the tasks progressed from defining a software (product) maintainability evaluation methodology (Peercy, 1981) to a methodology for evaluating a software support environment (Peercy and Swinson, 1983), it became apparent that there should be some overall framework that covered product, environment AND process. Furthermore, this framework should be validated using 'real data' as a basis.…”

SUMMARYDavid E. Peercy summarizes and explains his more than 20 years of risk assessment work on software maintenance, including an analysis of more than 80 major systems. He places software maintenance in a larger context of software support and integrated logistic support, and describes the process of risk assessment. He contrasts his view of risk with common governmental, management and auditing views, and with the positions of others in the field. Drawing upon his findings and experience, he closes with four major insights about software maintenance, emphasizing the importance for an organization of having supportable software.
