| - | One way to understand the Analysability of a system or a program is to understand the size of the system or program. As a rule of thumb, the larger a system or a program, the harder it is to successfully modify the software to correct faults, improve performance, or to adapt to changes in the operating environment. This Analysability can be performed any time while using either the [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:w:waterfall]] or the [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:a:agile]]. During the early stages, analysis and design. As projects mature and use a larger code base, the models can either be based directly on the [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:s:sourcecode|source code]] or [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:u:uml]] models created using reverse engineering.
