Design issues in client-server software maintenance

Software requires maintenance because there are often some errors remaining in the system that must be removed as they are discovered. Even without errors, software frequently undergoes change. The main reason is that software must be enhanced to ...
Modeling software maintenance requests: a case study
ICSM '97: Proceedings of the International Conference on Software Maintenance

Software maintenance costs often total twice the original development cost in the lifetime of application software. Modeling the changes of software maintenance activities might improve software maintenance planning. Current studies model software ...
Program understanding needs during corrective maintenance of large scale software
COMPSAC '97: Proceedings of the 21st International Computer Software and Applications Conference

We report on a software understanding field study during corrective maintenance of large-scale software by professional software maintenance engineers. We explain the general understanding process, the information needs of these software engineers ...
