A novel model for improving the maintainability of web-based systems

TL;DRAbstract

Web applications incorporate important business assets and offer a convenient way for businesses to promote their services through the internet. Many of these web applications have evolved from simple HTML pages to complex applications that have a high maintenance cost. This is due to the inherent characteristics of web applications, to the fast internet evolution and to the pressing market which imposes short development cycles and frequent modifications. In order to control the maintenance cost, quantitative metrics and models for predicting web applications’ maintainability must be used. Maintainability metrics and models can be useful for predicting maintenance cost, risky components and can help in assessing and choosing between different software artifacts. Since, web applications are different from traditional software systems, models and metrics for traditional systems can not be applied with confidence to web applications. Web applications have special features such as hyperte
