Many organizations assess the maintainability of software systems before they are deployed. Object-oriented design has been shown to be a useful technique to develop and deliver quality software. Objectoriented metrics can be used to assess the maintainability of a software system. Various software metrics and models have been developed and described. This paper provides a review of this literature and the related state-of-the-art. It also proposes a maintainability model that is based on the analysis of the relationship between object-oriented metrics and maintainability.
