Aspects related to Modifiability
We have already seen some aspects of modifiability in the previous chapter. Let us discuss this a bit further, and look at some of the related quality attributes that are closely related to modifiability:
Readability: Readability can be defined as the ease with which a program's logic can be followed and understood. Readable software is code that has been written in a specific style, following guidelines typically adopted for the programming language used, and whose logic uses the features provided by the language in a concise, clear way.
Modularity: Modularity means that the software system is written in well-encapsulated modules, which do very specific, well-documented functions. In other words, modular code provides programmer friendly APIs to the rest of the system. Modifiability is closely connected to Reusability.
Reusability: This measures the number of parts of a software system, including code, tools, designs, and others, that can be reused in other...
