摘要：
This paper empirically investigates the relationships between 15 design metrics and maintainability of 148 Java open source software. The results show that size and complexity metrics are strongly related to the maintainability of open source software. However, cohesion and coupling, as currently captured by existing metrics, do not seem to have a significant impact on maintainabil- ity. When used together, these metrics can predict system main- tainability fairly accurately (mean MREs below 30%).
