Average change efforts
Numeric [effort required to make change in a software development project measured in person hours and expressed in numeric range]
Indicator of impact of activities on quality of the software. The more the average change efforts, the less maintainable the software, and hence, lower the quality
Maintenance, implementation, analysis, and quality assurance
Low, medium, and high
Activities performed on or within the system
Probability
Numeric [in the range of 0.0–1.0]
Probability of “average change efforts” to be in some specified range provided the occurrence of “maintenance” activity
