Report of Software Maintence

Software development and maintenance started to become major corporate concerns in the last half of the 20th century. Even though most companies could not endure or compete successfully without software and computers; even in 2011, senior executive management remains troubled by a set of chronic problems associated with software applications: extended schedules, major cost exceeding, sub-par quality, and reduced user satisfaction. These problems

Software development is a complex process where focus is on fast delivery of software products in cost effective manner (Mohammad, Alwada’n, & Ababneh, 2013).

One of the most important factors when developing software is the early detection of faulty software for reducing development cost and assuring software quality. If the faultiness is not detected in the early stages and if detected and not fixed, than it will carry on throughout the project and the cost for fixing it after the delivery would be more than 50% or could be 100%

Adaptive maintenance is the process of creating flexible enhancements for a given piece of software. The addition of such features can be alluring to potential customers in that it could potentially offer something unique, or it could simplify a computerized process by executing new ideas or making use of new technologies. The process of enhancing current software however, can be a bit difficult as changes would have to be able to integrate almost seamlessly to the overall structure of the existing program. In some cases the process is further complicated by the fact that existing code may need to be carefully modified in order to be able to make the intended modifications.

An integral part of ensuring that any organization runs smoothly, is ensuring that they have the proper software necessary to perform daily functions effectively and efficiently. No two-software developed will ever be the same, and the same goes for its updates. This leads me to my next point which is, since software programs are developed to meet the different needs of different organizations, it is difficult, better yet nearly impossible for there to be just one type of method for software development. Thus, software development can take form in using anyone of the three categories. There is the Rainfall method (also referred to as the traditional method), the Agile, and the Hybrid. This paper will feature the comparisons of two

Information Technology (IT) changes come in many forms but are similar. IT changes can include hardware, software, configuration, operating systems, firmware, new systems, upgraded system or even system retirements. Two thing are common in all changes, they all introduce improvement and they all require hard work. Improvements can include system availability, support, speed, security, sizing, functionality or mobility. Not all improvements are readily experienced and some come with downgrades in other areas. Unfortunately sometimes the deterioration of services are the only thing our Customer Base sees. All IT projects require hard work from the IT professional and users. They all require design, a secure back out plan, extensive testing and then support after the project goes live. It is particularly difficult to

A range of research approaches can generate different and richer information about a complex phenomenon such as software development. In particular, qualitative research methods have been advocated in this regard, although they still occupy a relatively marginal position in software engineering research compared to quantitative methods.

Software is the base necessity in a system as it acts as a guide between the user and the system. Programmers design different kinds of software by writing a complete set of written instructions that enables the system to obtain the request instructed by the user. However, with the increase of technological improvements, businesses are now looking at software development organizations to design cost effective, high-quality, and adaptive applications to meet business objectives. Software businesses can run into a variety of issues when creating, changing, or updating the software that they have designed for their clients. For instance, a programmer could make a small change to an application causing a ripple effect with endless updates

As technology advances and the demand for software grows, so does the employment of software engineers. Employment for software engineers is expected to grow 17% from 2014-2024, faster than average. I want to be a software engineer largely due to my passion for technology, especially computers. I am curious of the variety of computer applications, what it takes for software engineers to make them. It’s definitely not easy, but it’s definitely fun! Another reason as to why I chose software engineering for my career is because software engineers can develop almost anything, from operating systems to even computer games! In my research paper, I will discuss what software engineers do for a living, the salary, and education needed to become one. I will discuss the enrollment, location, and a description of Carnegie Mellon University, and what students think of the dorms.

Software Engineering is the whole process of developing a software product from beginning to end using an accepted methodology. One of the common and oldest methods is the Waterfall model which sets a linear sequence of progression from Requirements gathering and analysis, design, implementation, testing to maintenance (Philip L, Matthew, &Nick, 2002).

The project is developed based on the following software development cycle. It starts with collecting the requirements and ends with the deployment phase with many phases in between. The phases in the software development plan are Requirements Specification, planning and Design, code Implementation, Testing, Deployment and Maintenance.Usually in the software development life cycle we have considered after each and every phase if the requirements are not satisfied or if they are infeasible, then we again go to the initial phases and the process is repeatedly iterated till the final phases of the software development.

In recently years, requirements of software products from economic markets in all over the world become stronger and frequently. Software companies need to complete software programs which come from huge amounts of users, and at the same time, software companies also need to fulfilled users’ requirements for function and requirements for high quality products. Most of times these develop companies need to do excellent products without a long development period and plenty of

Reliability Process: The reliability process in generic terms is a model of the reliability-oriented aspects of software development, operations and maintenance. The set of life cycle activities and artifacts, together with their attributes and interrelationships that are related to reliability comprise the reliability process. The artifacts of the software life cycle include documents, reports, manuals, plans, code configuration data and test data. Software reliability is dynamic and stochastic.

The topic provides an overview of that the software engineering is really engineering or not. There is a brief discussion on this topic and also some of the controversies in the discussion. Differences between software engineering and engineering are picked out in this paper i.e. the terms itself are different software engineering and engineering. Some of the Engineering features are common in the software engineering. Engineering includes many works in it and based on this work it is divided into many different streams. It also includes processing, designing, and manufacturing etc. and it’s all depend on the work done. There are different things need to be done in software engineering like designing.
