  1. SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE

  2. TOPICS TO BE DISCUSSED.. • Definition of Maintenance • Software Maintenance • Types of Maintenance • Maintenance Process • Need of Maintenance • Maintenance Cost • Why is maintenance inefficient

  3. DEFINITION OF MAINTENANCE • The process of modifying a software system or component after delivery to correct faults, improve or other attributes, or adapt to a changed environment. BACK

  4. Software Maintenance Objectives SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE • Difference between Software Product and Software Maintenance is: • Software Product is the result of the Software development. • Software Maintenance results in a service being delivered to the customer. BACK

  5. TYPES OF MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES • Corrective: Taking existing code and correcting a fault that causes the code to behave in some way that deviates from its documented requirements. • Adaptive: Taking existing code and adapting it to provide new features and functionality. These are typically part of a new release of the code and part of a larger development effort.

  6. Perfective: These are typically made to improve the maintainability of the code such as restructuring it to make it more easily understood or to remove ambiguities. • Inspection: These are usually made as a result of code inspection and focus more of adhering to coding standards or to reduce the likelihood of a failure • Perfective: BACK

  7. Impact analysis Release planning Change implementation System release Change requests Fault repair Flat form adaptation System enhancement MAINTENANCE PROCESS • Maintenance process vary considerably depending on the types of software being maintained, the development processes used in an organization and people involved in the process.

  8. Change Requests • Change requests are requests for system changes from users, customers or management • In principle, all change requests should be carefully analysed as part of the maintenance process and then implemented • In practice, some change requests must be implemented urgently • Fault repair • Changes to the system’s environment • Urgently required business changes

  9. Change Implementation

  10. Emergency Repair BACK

  11. Major Causes of Maintenance Problems NEED OF MAINTENANCE • Unstructured code • Insufficient domain knowledge • Insufficient documentation BACK

  12. DEVELOPMENT/MAINTENANCE COSTS BACK

  13. WHY IS MAINTENANCE INEFFICIENT? • Factors adversely effect maintenance • Lack of models or ignorance of available models (73%) • Lack of documentation (67.6%) • Lack of time to update existing documentation (54.1%) BACK

  14. THANK YOU BACK
