“…Encara que alguns autors han assenyalat les deficiències de la mètrica LOC, això encara s'utilitza en la pràctica a causa de la seva simplicitat (Zhang, 2009). L'índex de capacitat de manteniment (Oman i Hagemeister, 1992) determina el grau de capacitat de manteniment de software basat en l'estat del seu codi font.…”

ResumLa personalitat dels professionals de programació informàtica ha estat un element continu d'interès en la investigació acadèmica. Els investigadors han aplicat diferents models d'anàlisi de la personalitat d'aquells professionals, en diverses àrees de l'enginyeria de software per identificar punts de millora, per promoure la satisfacció laboral i per organitzar millor els equips.Aquest treball té com a objectiu realitzar un estudi, a través d'un relat d'experiència, per avaluar el model de personalitat MBTI -Myers-Briggs Type Indication-aplicat als desenvolupadors de programació i per entendre com la personalitat humana influeix en el treball dels professionals. L'experiència s'aplicà en una universitat privada a sis professionals de programació informàtica, per mesurar la qualitat del software desenvolupat per mitjà

“…This can be illustrated by an example of the quality taxonomy defined in [21]: System Complexity. As System Complexity appears too coarsegrained to be assessed directly, is desirable to further decompose this element.…”

“…Nevertheless, these and more recent approaches like [7,12,16,21] have failed to establish a broadly acceptable basis for quality assessments so far. We believe this is due to the lack of a clearly defined decomposition criterion that leads to a "somewhat arbitrary selection of characteristics and sub-characteristics" [13,14].…”

Maintainability is a key quality attribute of successful software systems. However, its management in practice is still problematic. Currently, there is no comprehensive basis for assessing and improving the maintainability of software systems. Quality models have been proposed to solve this problem. Nevertheless, existing approaches do not explicitly take into account the maintenance activities, that largely determine the software maintenance effort. This paper proposes a 2-dimensional model of maintainability that explicitly associates system properties with the activities carried out during maintenance. The separation of activities and properties facilitates the identification of sound quality criteria and allows to reason about their interdependencies. This transforms the quality model into a structured and comprehensive quality knowledge base that is usable in industrial project environments. For example, review guidelines can be generated from it. The model is based on an explicit quality metamodel that supports its systematic construction and fosters preciseness as well as completeness. An industrial case study demonstrates the applicability of the model for the evaluation of the maintainability of Matlab Simulink models that are frequently used in modelbased development of embedded systems.

Abstract. The maintainability of software systems is getting more and more attention both from researchers and industrial experts. This is due to its direct impact on development costs and reliability of the software. Many models exist for estimating maintainability by aggregating low level source code metrics. However, very few of them are able to predict the maintainability on method level; even fewer take subjective human opinions into consideration. In this paper we present a new approach to create method level maintainability prediction models based on human surveys using regression techniques. We performed three di erent surveys and compared the derived prediction models. Our regression models were built based on approximately 150 000 answers of 268 persons. These models were able to estimate the maintainability of methods with a 0.72 correlation and a 0.83 mean absolute error on a continuous [0,10].
