Analysability measures how easily a system or component can be examined. It relates to three main aspects:
Change Impact Assessment
- Determine how changes affect the system
- Identify parts that need modification
Defect Diagnosis
- Locate the source of failures
- Understand why defects occur
Modification Planning
- Identify specific parts to change
- Plan updates or improvements
High Analysability Helps Teams:
- Maintain software more efficiently
- Troubleshoot issues faster
- Plan upgrades with less effort
Factors Affecting Analysability:
- Code structure and organisation
- Documentation quality
- Use of standard design patterns
