Abstract

Quality of software design directly affects the understandability of the software developed. As the size and complexity of the software increases it drastically affects quality attributes, especially understandability. The direct measurement of quality is difficult because there is no single model that can be applied in all situations. Models proposed by various researchers are not comprehensive. Quantitative measurement of an operational system’s understandability is desirable both as an instantaneous measure and as a predictor of understandability over time. This work proposes the method of measuring understandability using Logical Scoring of Preferences (LSP) method. I have also evaluated one design through this model.
