摘要
fit soft-ware industrial practice, the high cost of maintenance process of large-scale software has put emphasis on the need to manage the maintainability in earlier phases of a software lifecycle. This paper discusses the applicability of architectural complexity measures to managing the complexity in the maintenance phase and the reliability of the maintenance process. It also discusses the theoretical validity of the architectural complexity measures, as has been established using PVS, a formal verification system.
