Even though there has been some research on system
evolution, there is no well defined vocabulary to indicate
deviation of a system from desired goals. Further, there are
no objective measures to indicate whether changes
incorporated into a system as part of its evolution violates the
integrity of the architectural design. Also, little research has
been done to categorize the aspects of a software system that
is subject to deviation as the system evolves.
In this paper we develop a model for tracking software
evolution and propose measures that will objectively indicate
the extent of deviation or divergence in a software system.
We also categorize the different aspects of software, changes
to which can significantly impact usability as well as
conceptual coherence.
