Módosíthatóságát

Módosíthatóságát, often abbreviated as M, is a Hungarian term that translates to "modifiability" or "modifiability index" in English. It is a metric used in software engineering to measure the ease with which a system can be modified to change its behavior. A higher M value indicates that the system is more modifiable, meaning that changes can be made with less effort and less risk of introducing defects.

The M metric is calculated based on the number of modules in a system and the number of interconnections between these modules. A module is a distinct part of a system that encapsulates a specific functionality. Interconnections refer to the dependencies or interactions between these modules. The formula for calculating M is typically:

M = 1 - (2 * C) / (N * (N - 1))

where C is the number of interconnections and N is the number of modules.

The M metric is useful for software architects and developers to assess the maintainability and adaptability of a system. It helps in identifying potential bottlenecks and areas that may require refactoring to improve modifiability. By focusing on reducing interconnections and increasing modularity, developers can create systems that are easier to modify and extend over time.

However, it is important to note that M is just one of many metrics used in software engineering, and it should be considered alongside other factors such as code quality, testing, and documentation. A system with a high M value may still have other areas that require improvement to ensure overall quality and performance.
