Abstract
When programmers try to reuse a software system developed by other programmers, the difficulty of understanding the system limits reuses [1]. It is not easy to measure software understandability because understanding is an internal process of humans. This paper proposes "integral of understandability" as a model for measuring software understandability which can extract first the best value of software understandability from factors with higher weight. In other words, we gave an integrated aspect of measuring software understandability through the literature on the subject.
