The State of Software Maintenance [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, 1987
A state of software maintenance survey is presented, indicating the incongruity of the simultaneous existence of importance and neglect in this field. An overview is given of selected developments and activities covering the following topics: • The "Maintenance Problem." • Models. • Methods for improving maintenance. • Metrics.

Redocumentation for the maintenance of software [PDF]

open access: bronzeProceedings of the 30th annual Southeast regional conference on - ACM-SE 30, 1992
Traditionally documentation has been mainly text based and it is considered that this is not always the best format for the analysis and understanding of code for use in software maintenance. A system based upon an interactive hypertext system utilising both text and graphics would be more appropriate.

Towards an automated classification phase in the software maintenance process using decision tree [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ Computer Science
The software maintenance process is costly, accounting for up to 70% of the total cost in the software development life cycle (SDLC). The difficulty of maintaining software increases with its size and complexity, requiring significant time and effort ...

Adaptive development and maintenance of user-centric software systems [PDF]

open access: green, 2004
A software system cannot be developed without considering the various facets of its environment. Stakeholders – including the users that play a central role – have their needs, expectations, and perceptions of a system.

A framework for software maintenance [PDF]

open access: bronze, 1992
In describing a software system, there are three elements that are always considered: objects, functional requirements and business policies. In the traditional approach to software development, these elements are often mixed with one another in a system's definition in such a way that their meanings are embedded into the software, making their ...

Traceability for the maintenance of secure software [PDF]

open access: green2008 IEEE International Conference on Software Maintenance, 2008
Traceability links among different software engineering artifacts make explicit how a software system was implemented to accommodate its requirements. For secure and dependable software system development, one must ensure the linked entities are truly traceable to each other and the links are updated to reflect true traceability among changed entities.

Software services and software maintenance [PDF]

open access: yesSeventh European Conference onSoftware Maintenance and Reengineering, 2003. Proceedings., 2003
Software services are being promoted as the next big step forward in software engineering. Inevitably, both service vendor and service client programs will require maintenance. We present a service architecture that has been motivated by a long term vision for software as something which is used, not owned.
