 +====== Maintainability Criterion ======
 +
 +[[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:start|Go to Terms and Definitions]]
 +
 +===== Discussion =====
 +
 +A Maintainability Criterion establishes a measurable condition used to evaluate the [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:m:maintainability|Maintainability]] of an entity.
 +
 +A Maintainability Criterion may specify:
 +
 +  * A threshold
 +  * A tolerance
 +  * An acceptable range
 +  * A required property
 +  * A permitted maintenance duration
 +  * A maximum change effort
 +  * A dependency-visibility condition
 +  * A change-isolation condition
 +  * A verification or regression-testing condition
 +
 +The applicable Maintainability Criteria may originate from a [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:requirement|Requirement]], [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:p:policy|Policy]], [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:constraint|Constraint]], profile, [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:b:baseline|Baseline]], or designated [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:a:authority|Authority]].
 +
 +===== Definition =====
 +
 +//measurable condition used to determine whether the maintainability of an entity satisfies a specified requirement//
 +
 +===== Source =====
 +
 +Dido Solutions, Inc. and Jackrabbit Consulting, Inc., derived from the maintainability concepts in ISO/IEC 25010:2023
 +
 +===== Note =====
 +
 +A Maintainability Criterion states the condition used for evaluation. It does not state the measured or observed result of that evaluation.
 +
 +A criterion may address modularity, reusability, analyzability, modifiability, testability, or another governed maintainability characteristic.
 +
 +When applicable Maintainability Criteria conflict, DIDO-TE records and surfaces the conflict without inventing precedence. The appropriate Community of Interest or designated Authority resolves the conflict.
 +
 +===== Example =====
 +
 +A requirement that an authorized configuration change be implemented and regression tested within four hours establishes a Maintainability Criterion containing a maximum maintenance duration and a verification condition.
