Description and Table of Contents

Description

Offering guidelines to the maintenance of computer software, this book covers the three distinct types: corrective (fixing defects), adaptive (enhancements) and perfective (improving software quality). Perfective maintenance offers a chance to identify high-cost software for restructuring or rewriting. Also included here are step-by-step procedures which identify and restructure these problem programs. The book is organized in the order that maintenance activities normally occur in a scheduled release. Many examples are contained, including bullet lists.
