# Geant4 Maintainability Assessed with Respect to Software Engineering References

## TL;DR

This paper presents a methodology to quantitatively evaluate the maintainability of Geant4 software using established software engineering metrics and reference standards.

## Contribution

It introduces a systematic approach to assess Geant4's maintainability based on literature-documented metrics, filling a gap in software quality evaluation.

## Key findings

- Quantitative maintainability scores for Geant4
- Identification of key maintainability metrics
- Comparison with software engineering standards

## Abstract

We report a methodology developed to quantitatively assess the maintainability of Geant4 with respect to software engineering references. The level of maintainability is determined by combining a set of metrics values whose references are documented in literature.
