The article is dedicated to software quality improvement research within the maintenance phase based on post-object-oriented technologies. An important problem of the maintenance phase is surveyed, namely, the crosscutting functionality problem. Mechanisms of post-object-oriented technologies have been reviewed and basic tasks to be resolved have been formulated in order to reach the final goal of the research: defect reduction during the maintenance phase. The post object-oriented technologies utilization framework for software quality improvement based on a collection of 4 heuristic assumptions has been introduced. The conceptual scheme of the framework has been presented. An applied 2-steps procedure for defect reduction assessment based on quantitative crosscutting-functionality and defect metrics has been described. Twelve results of the experiments concerning calculation of the residual defect number have been presented and analyzed.
