Maintainability Estimation of Component Based Software Development Using Fuzzy AHP

The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is a popular method for solving multicriteria analysis (MA) problems involving qualitative data. However, this method is often criticized due to its use of an unbalanced scale of judgements and its inability to adequately handle the inherent products enter the maintenance phase due to the growing application of information systems. Software maintenance is the modification of a software product after delivery to correct faults and improve its overall performance and quality. Easily maintainable software saves large costs and effort involved in developing the uncertainty and imprecision of the pairwise comparison process. A large number of software software. This paper presents a fuzzy  approach for estimating maintainability of CBSD in a simple and straightforward manner. The result shows that the approach developed is simple and comprehensible in concept, efficient in computation, and robust in modeling human evaluation processes which make it of general use for solving practical applications.
