Maintainability is a software and systems engineering quality attribute describing how easily a system can be modified, repaired, or extended over time without introducing errors. Software engineers pursue maintainability through practices like clean code, modular design, documentation, and automated testing. High maintainability reduces long-term costs and technical debt in software projects and physical systems alike.
