comp730:MeAndYou Project Supportability

1. Introduction
Supportability requirements are concerned with the ease of changes to the system after deployment, including for example, adaptability (the ability to change the system to deal with additional application domain concepts), maintainability (the ability to change the system to deal with new technology or to fix defects), and internationalization (the ability to change the system to deal with additional international conventions, such as languages, units, and number formats). The ISO 9126 standard on software quality [ISO Std. 9126], similar to the FURPS+ model, replaces this category with two categories: maintainability and portability (the ease with which a system or component can be transferred from one hardware or software environment to another).
