Software Maintainability and Usability in Agile Environment

Abstract

This research is based on software maintainability and usability in the agile environment. Maintainability of the system is the ability to undergo changes relatively easily. These changes can affect components, services, interfaces and functionality when adding or changing functions, errors, and respond to business needs. Usability is defined as the application that meets the requirements of users and consumers by providing an intuitive, easy to locate and globalize and provides good access for disabled users and leads to a good overall user experience. In the conventional method of the software development, there are many metrics to calculate the maintenance and use of software. This research is to determine whether the same measures apply to Agile, or there is a need to change some metrics used for the agile environment.The goal of software engineering is to develop good quality maintainable software in schedule and budget. Inflated software costing, delayed time frame, or not meeting quality standards express a failure. A survey suggests about 45% of software fails due to the lack of quality. It is therefore one of the most important aspects for the success of software. .

Reusability of Legacy Software Using Microservices: An Online Exam System Example

“…This section examines academic works that cover the usage of archetypes in developing of Exam applications, including services, architectures, and data persistence. This study [9] offers a comparison of twelve proctoring systems, a fundamental evaluation methodology for proctoring systems, and many crisis management suggestions for educational institutions. give a fundamental paradigm for proctoring system evaluation, and suggest some things to think about while selecting them.…”

Accessible software development: a conceptual model proposal

“…In their research, Riaz et al [104] argue that in order for a given software to maintain its overall functionality and usability, it must have a significant level of maintainability. On a similar note, Agarwal, Majumdar [105] also hold that ensuring a considerable maintainability will trigger the software's ability to continuously oblige with existing standards such as the usability and accessibility norms, regulations and guidelines. Given the nature of software, it will inevitably have to evolve.…”
