See 4.2.1.1 Adaptability

Adaptability is the extent to which a software system adapts to change in its environment. An adaptable software system can tolerate changes in its environment without external intervention. For example, a dual-mode cell phone can find out by itself if any one of the two wireless standards it supports is available at its current location and if so it starts using that standard.
