An Analysis of the Maritime Tactical Software Maintenance Management.
Abstract
This thesis examines the Canadian Forces Maritime Tactical Software Maintenance organization and its ability to meet the future software maintenance requirements of the fleet. In order to provide new programming managers with a better understanding of Maritime tactical software maintenance, a basic framework for software maintenance is presented, and the major problem areas within the military software maintenance environment are addressed. Software management practices, maintenance techniques and tools, and documentation and testing procedures are all discussed in order to aid the military manager in improving the Maritime software maintenance organization. Based on a better understanding of the life-cycle requirements of software maintenance, and the factors effecting programming productivity, suggestions for improving the software productivity of the Fleet maintenance organization are discussed. By addressing the problems of the past tactical programming environment and understanding the present technology of software maintenance management, it is hoped that the capabilities of the future Fleet Tactical Programming Center will be greatly improved.
