A controlled experiment to evaluate maintainability of object-oriented software

The authors describe an experiment which compares the maintainability of two functionally equivalent systems in order to explore the claim that systems developed with object-oriented languages are more easily maintained than those programmed with procedural languages. Supporting evidence was found t...

Description
Summary:The authors describe an experiment which compares the maintainability of two functionally equivalent systems in order to explore the claim that systems developed with object-oriented languages are more easily maintained than those programmed with procedural languages. Supporting evidence was found that programmers produce more maintainable code with an object-oriented language than with a standard procedural language.< >
