modifiability
Capacity for alteration
Modifiability is the quality of being changeable or adaptable.
The term appears most often in technical contexts—software with high modifiability can be altered without breaking other components; a contract's modifiability determines how easily its terms can be amended.
The system's modifiability was a key factor in choosing it over competitors.
