“…Bohem found that among 60% to 70% of all the faults detected in large level projects was either specification or design faults [14]. A decision to modify the design in order to recover testability after coding has started may be extremely expensive and error-prone [4]. The target of increasing the testability of object oriented design is not only to detect defects but more significantly, to detect defects as quickly as they are occurred.…”

“…It requires great amount of effort, time and money to design and develop high quality reliable and testable software. Effective software testing will significantly make a contribution to the delivery of superior quality software products, satisfied customers and will give exact and consistent results [4]. Software testing is a necessary and expensive activity of development life cycle that is used for determining whether a program has errors or not.…”

“…A recent survey reveals that the cost incurred in testing often range from 40% to 80% of the entire cost involved in development [5]. One way to improve the testability of a software system is the design for testability, which can deal with dissimilar aspects of software including size, complexity, consistency, modularity, self-documentation and system structure [4]. Dino Esposito argued that testability should be measured as a key attribute in order to promise the software quality [6].…”

Measuring testability early in the development life cycle considerably reduces the overall development cost, effort and rework. It is very expensive and error prone decision to correct the design to get better testability after the coding has started. This paper proposes a testability measurement framework for object oriented software concerning at design phase. This framework correlates the testability factor with object oriented design properties and also correlates design properties with object oriented design metrics. No such framework has been presented in the literature that accurately measure testability of object oriented software taking design phase into consideration. The proposed framework reduces the gap between object oriented design properties, metrics and testability. This framework measures effort in measuring testability of object oriented software early at design phase and makes it possible to produce reliable end product within time and budget.

Estimating Reusability near the beginning in the software development life cycle, particularly at design phase, may help the designers to integrate required improvement and corrections for improving overall quality of the developed software. This research paper proposes a framework for reusability estimation that provides step by step solution for reusability estimation of object oriented software. As well as study developed a multivariate regression model ‗Reusability Estimation Model for Object-Oriented software' at design phase of software development process. Proposed model has been mathematically validated through proper statistical measures and contextual explanation has been drawn. This study facilitates the software developers, designer and quality controllers, the inclusion of reusability estimation model to access and quantify software reusability for quality product. Reusability estimation in early stage of software development life cycle always supports the designers to improve the reusability of product class diagram and consequently the reusability of software.

Maintenance is one of the extremely important and tricky missions in the area of component-based software. Numerous maintainability models are proposed by the scientist and researchers, to reduce the cost of maintenance, for improving the excellence and life period of a component-based system. Various quality models have been discussed briefly to show importance of maintainability. This research will facilitate the software designer to assemble maintainable component-based softwares. The proposed configuration confers a fuzzy-based maintainability model that chooses four fundamental features that enormously influence maintainability of component-based software system, i.e., Document Quality, Testability, Coupling, and Modifiability (DTMC). MATLAB's fuzzy logic toolbox is utilized to implement this configuration and output values are confirmed using center of gravity formula, as we have taken centroid defuzzification method. For a particular set of input, output provided by the model is 0.497 and output value from center of gravity formula comes up to be 0.467 which is around the value specified by the model.
