Abstract | ||
---|---|---|
In software evolution, stability is defined as the ability of a module to remain largely unchanged when faced with newer requirements and/or changes in the environment. Although stability is an important long-term design characteristic for hardware systems, it has not been studied deeply for software systems. Stability is directly related to software evolvability and maintainability; and it affect... |
