Maintenance Of A Software System

This memorandum addresses the assessing project recently completed with the assistance of Dan Kirwin of BSA Software.

At the height of computer development, for convenience purposes, digital programmers used two digit codes in place of the years. For example, instead of writing 1986, computer engineers simply dated programs with 86, the “19” was left out purposefully. Engineers compressed data usage to save storage, which at the time was very costly and took up unnecessary space. Eventually these programmers realized that once the year 2000 comes around then, the dates would revert to “00” which computers will assume to be 1900. A simple date change to humans would equal a major blunder to a computer. This glitch held the

Software maintenance process is a topic that probably comes up in most organizations and is an important one to address. Once software is created there are usually changes or bugs that are found causes there to be a need for maintenance. It is important to have a process in place that helps to define how these items are handled and the path they take to completion. Using different tools to log these changes, requests, or bugs will is important to keep things organized and allows for proper tracking of these items.

L.O.3.4: Assuming Some Changes in Original Plan and Evaluate how these Changes could be Managed to have Impact on the Project Deliverables:

Changes in the transition period from the old to the new state, and focus on the reconstruction and "off" at the age pattern suitable for the project activities. Most of the literature focuses on the changes in change

Foremost the need to consider how this will impact the participants and those involved and the alternative course this project may take in reflection to individual perception of the impact rather then the collective goal impact this project is

Introduction Impact factor – Garfield1 first mentioned the idea of an impact factor in 1955, and it was only in the early 1960s he, along with Irving H Sher, created the journal impact factor to help select journals for Science Citation Index. The evolution of the idea of the impact factor is well documented 2. From then on, it has been used widely for different purposes; it is being used, often indiscriminately, in the evaluation of performance by individual scientists, ranking institutions and countries, selection of candidates for awards and fellowships of academies, and granting of

Impact Assessment includes” many of those evaluation activities with which we are most familiar: selection of objectives and criteria, specification of target populations, development of research design and data collection techniques and evaluation reports (Audrey Begun, Social Policy Evaluation: An Example from Drinking Age Legislation, 1980, p. 167).

Too often we become caught up in the doing of every day life and we forget that it is meant to be enjoyed. Establishing a system for ease will help you to put the fun back into your life. The following are five systems that are all geared towards helping you live your life with a lot more energy and productivity on a daily basis.

Impact analysis: Evaluate and rate the impact of equipment, utility and system on the safety, efficacy and purity of finished products

An early and often cited paper by Adrion (1993, cited in Flint 2009, p. 229 - 230) presents engineering method as one of software engineering research method. It is necessary to utilize engineering method in this study in order to observe existing solutions, propose better solutions, build or develop, measure and analyse, and repeat until no further improvements are possible.

This stage comprises impact identification and determination of the significance of the impacts. Impact identification is the process of illustrating cause and effect relationship of a project activities and key environmental aspects. It needs a systematic expert knowledge and judgment (Sadler and McCabe, 2002). In this study, key environmental

Change is a phenomenon which is inevitable in every aspect of human life and it is always constant despite the fact that people do resist change due to some reasons. Organizational change is also a phenomenon which cannot be avoided by organization, because internal and external factors exist which can cause an organization to change. According to Mills an et al (2008) organization change can be defined as an alteration of a core aspect of an organization’s operations. Theses core aspects involve culture of the company, the technology used or the structure of the organization. This report will evaluate the impact of organizational changes.

What are the three different types of software maintenance and how is effort distributed across these maintenance types?

-It is necessary to understand the current impacts or effects of the activity being examined, including the historical context and current status of operations, and to identify the groups and communities associated with the activity.
