Issues in Software Maintenance and Measurement.

Abstract

Up to a few years ago the area of software maintenance was largely ignored. Interest has increased in the last few years due to several factors. First, the increased burden of maintenance from that of ten years ago has restricted resources available for new development. Second, there has been a growing awareness that considering tools which assist development may have little effect on operational systems. Third, the management of information systems has come under increasing scrutiny. This paper highlights some of the major issues that surfaced during several extensive operational software studies.
