Análisis y clasificación de atributos de mantenibilidad del software: una revisión comparativa desde el estado del arte
Resumen
Actualmente el mantenimiento de software es la etapa más costosa del ciclo de vida de dicho producto. Identificar los atributos que influyen sobre la mantenibilidad de software es un aspecto importante para conocer qué factores se podrían incluir durante el proceso de desarrollo con el fin de conseguir un producto altamente mantenible. En este sentido, el presente artículo ofrece una vista integral de diferentes atributos de mantenibilidad obtenidos a partir de la literatura y propone una clasificación de los mismos teniendo en cuenta: (i) las subcaracterísticas de mantenibilidad de ISO/IEC 25010 sobre las que influye, y (ii) el flujo de trabajo del desarrollo de software de RUP (Rational Unified Process) en los que se presenta. Como resultado de la investigación realizada se obtuvieron un total de 18 atributos clasificados de acuerdo a los criterios mencionados anteriormente, los cuales describen diferentes aspectos que se deben considerar cuando se pretende desarrollar un producto altamente mantenible. Los atributos de mantenibilidad y su clasificación, obtenidos en esta investigación han sido utilizados en la realización de un modelo de referencia de procesos que apoya la inclusión de sub-características de mantenibilidad al producto software durante el proceso de desarrollo.
