  • Abstract
    Flexibility has been recognized as a desirable quality of software since the earliest days of software engineering. But no metrics for quantifying it are known to us. We bring forward a user-oriented model to measure the flexibility of software. User-oriented flexible point is the basic element in this model. Other elements are the manipulative complexity, flexible distance and flexible degree, which form the foundation to quantify flexibility.
