Abstract

Quality and economical aspects of software development are strictly related. Adaptability, as a feature of quality, fosters reuse and the resulting economies of scale. Domain analysis is an effective way to improve adaptability. Yet domain analysis is expensive. To reduce the cost of domain analysis without reducing its effectiveness, we consider the use of a set of metrics to measure adaptability during design, i.e., when the cost of improving adaptability is still low.
