dc.description	The constant evolution of mobile applications is related to the continuous development demanded by user needs, technology and, especially, new devices. This continuous evolution and the complexity of the application itself, means that its maintenance does not guarantee stability when new functionalities are added, or versions of the operating system are updated. The aim of this study was to establish the impact of the implementation of Clean Architecture & ISO/IEC 25010 on the maintainability of the Educar Teacher mobile application (www.icrmedu.com). The research design was quasi-experimental, cross-sectional, considering the Educar Teacher and CRM Distribution applications as experimental and control groups, respectively, where the maintainability of both was evaluated and compared, considering the packages, classes, and lines of code as the unit of analysis. The independent variable was Clean Architecture & ISO/IEC 25010, and the dependent variable was maintainability, which was worked with the criteria of analyzability, stability, testability, and changeability. The sample was census-based and consisted of 693 packages, 2.037 classes and 168.217 lines of code from the Educar Teacher application. According to the results, it is concluded that by developing with Clean Architecture & ISO/IEC 25010, the Educar Teacher application achieves a positive impact on maintainability based on the analyzability, stability, testability, and changeability criteria of 7 %, 56 %, 0.7 % and 0.9 %, respectively.	en-US
dc.description	La constante actualización de los aplicativos móviles está relacionada con el desarrollo continuo que demandan las necesidades del usuario, la tecnología y, sobre todo, los nuevos dispositivos. En efecto, esta ininterrumpida evolución, y la complejidad misma del aplicativo, hace que su mantenimiento no garantice la estabilidad cuando se agregan nuevas funcionalidades o se actualicen las versiones del sistema operativo. El objetivo de este estudio fue establecer el impacto de la implementación de arquitectura limpia y de la norma ISO/IEC 25010 en la mantenibilidad del aplicativo móvil Educar Teacher. El diseño de la investigación fue ex post facto cuasi experimental de corte transversal, considerando los aplicativo Educar Teacher y CRM Distribución como grupo experimental y de control, respectivamente, donde se evaluó y se comparó la mantenibilidad de ambos, considerando como unidad de análisis los paquetes, clases y líneas de código. La variable independiente fue arquitectura limpia y norma ISO/IEC 25010, y la dependiente fue mantenibilidad, la cual se trabajó con los criterios de analizabilidad, estabilidad, testeabilidad y cambiabilidad. La muestra fue censal y estuvo conformada por 693 paquetes, 2037 clases y 168 217 líneas de código del aplicativo Educar Teacher. De acuerdo con los resultados, se concluye que al desarrollar con arquitectura limpia y norma ISO/IEC 25010, el aplicativo Educar Teacher logra una repercusión positiva en la mantenibilidad basado en los criterios de analizabilidad, estabilidad, testeabilidad y cambiabilidad de 7 %, 56 %, 0.7 %, 0.9 %, respectivamente.	es-ES
