A General Evaluation Criteria for Web Applications Maintainability Models

Abstract

Many World Wide Web applications incorporate important business assets and offer a convenient way for businesses to promote their services through the Internet. Many of these Web applications evolved from simple HTML pages to complex applications which are difficult to maintain. Several maintainability models have been proposed for measuring the maintainability of Web applications. It is difficult to choose between the different maintainability models since no common criteria exists for evaluating them. In this paper, we introduce a general evaluation criteria for maintainability models (ECMM) which is applied on a sample Web application.
