摘　　要：As one of the most important attributes of software quality, software maintainability has been widely recognized.However,the existing maintainability evaluation methods are mostly based on subjectively judgment. Thus it is inapplicable or unbelievable. To evaluate software maintainability objectively,the software configuration management( SCM) data are collected to establish a maintainability model. Based on the hidden Markov chain( HMC), a three-state maintainability estimation model is constructed. To validate the feasibility of the model,a real software example of software maintenance activity is given and the result from the example shows the effectiveness of the proposed method.As one of the most important attributes of software quality, software maintainability has been widely recognized.However,the existing maintainability evaluation methods are mostly based on subjectively judgment.
