Maintainability

The maintainability of a system can be considered to be a measure to determine how easily the repair actions can be performed. When we say repair, we need to discuss the following:

The ease of fixing issues in a deployed system (if any)
Improvements in the system to match the changing business needs
Coping with infrastructure changes in the deployment environment

In the system of our consideration, a BPM, changes in business logic are more frequent. So, one of the main factors from a maintainability perspective is the ease of improving the process executable. This is one area that jBPM excels in; as we have already discussed in earlier chapters, jBPM provides a full-fledged modeling, simulation, and deployment tooling environment. The actors, from this perspective, business analysts and developers, can use the tooling to model, simulate, test, and deploy the process changes.

Another aspect is the infrastructure or the environment in which jBPM is deployed and maintained in production...
