In telecommunication and several other engineering fields, the term maintainability has the following meanings: In software engineering, these activities are known as software maintenance (cf. ISO/IEC 9126). Closely related concepts in the software engineering domain are evolvability, modifiability, technical debt, and code smells. The maintainability index is calculated with certain formulae from lines-of-code measures, McCabe measures and Halstead complexity measures.
