Issues in Software Maintenance
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 volume of enhancement and maintenance with more systems from that of ten years ago has restricted resources available for new development. Second, there has been a growing awareness that tools and aids which assist development of information systems may have little effect on operational systems. Third, the management of information systems has come under increasing scrutiny. In this report we highlight some of the major issues that surfaced during several extensive operational software studies. These sources have pointed to significant questions that must be addressed concerning the roles of the users in operations and maintenance, the management of maintenance, and the types of tools and techniques that are needed in maintenance.
