The code contains a callable, block, or other code element in
which the same variable is used to control more than one unique task or store
more than one instance of data.

The code is structured in a way that relies too much on using
or setting global variables throughout various points in the code, instead of
preserving the associated information in a narrower, more local
context.
Modes of Introduction:
Other: Reduce Maintainability
The source code uses symbolic constants, but it does not
sufficiently place the definitions of these constants into a more centralized or
isolated location.
Modes of Introduction:
Other: Reduce Maintainability
The source code uses literal constants that may need to change
or evolve over time, instead of using symbolic constants.
Modes of Introduction:

The product or code uses machine-dependent functionality, but
it does not sufficiently encapsulate or isolate this functionality from
the rest of the code.
Modes of Introduction:
Other: Reduce Maintainability
The product relies on third-party components that are not
actively supported or maintained by the original developer or a trusted proxy
for the original developer.
Modes of Introduction:
Other: Reduce Maintainability
The product relies on third-party software components that do
not provide equivalent functionality across all desirable
platforms.
Modes of Introduction:

The code uses a data representation that relies on low-level
data representation or constructs that may vary across different processors,
physical machines, OSes, or other physical components.
Modes of Introduction:
Other: Reduce Maintainability
The product uses automatically-generated code that cannot be
executed without a specific runtime support component.
Modes of Introduction:
Other: Reduce Maintainability
The product or code does not isolate system-dependent
functionality into separate standalone modules.
