Modifiability refers to how easily a system or component can be changed without affecting its quality or performance. High modifiability allows for easier updates, enhancements, or fixes.
Key Aspects:
- Ease of Change: Systems with high modifiability can adapt to new requirements quickly.
- Impact on Quality: Changes should not degrade system performance or introduce new defects.
- Design Considerations: Well-structured systems promote modifiability through clear interfaces and modular design.
Benefits of high modifiability include reduced maintenance costs and improved responsiveness to user needs.
