Work Process of Software Maintenance Companies

“Software doesn’t wear out, but it does need care”

Do You Know a normal human get 60,000 thoughts in a day – which means more needs, more demands, more changes with time. Demand of change leads to rebuild of product or to maintain the product. Nowadays, not a single task can be accomplished without help of a Software. From making a pin to producing a missile.

Working in this changing environment, software maintenance has become a crucial part. As after delivering software, the work done to make change in software is termed as maintenance of software.

Software Maintenance Company

Software maintenance company work in a way to solve following issues :

  • It is an issue of Limited Understanding
  • Impact Analysis is required
  • Need Alignment With Customer Priorities
  • Issues related to Testing
  • Main issue is Performance Improvement
  • Issue of Estimating Costs
  • Processing Design, Logic, Coding Error Correction
  • Issue of Controlling And Making Modifications
  • Issue of Adapting the product to a modified environment
  • In Order to make Reverse Deterioration
  • Issues related to Deletion Of Obsolete Capabilities
  • To make it More Efficient And Employing Newer Technology
  • Issue related to Maintainability Measurement

Software Maintenance company uses following tools :

  • Use of Code Restructuring Tools
  • Use of Re-engineering Tools
  • Process Complexity Analysis Tools
  • Use of Defect Tracking Tools
  • Use Automated Change Control Tools
  • Help Desk Automation tool
  • Error Prone Module Tool
  • Manage Productivity Measurements
  • Do Formal Based Code Inspections
  • Follow Reverse Engineering

Software maintenance is performed to enhance the performance, maintainability or other attributes of a computer program. Extend the software beyond its original functional and non-functional requirements. Prevent aging, make more easily corrected adapted and enhanced. Maintenance matrices are used, MTTR – Mean Time to Repair, Number of request for corrective maintenance – may be injecting more than removing, Complexity matrices.

On aging system, modification takes additional research time because relevant documentation is incomplete. The unfamiliar construction also makes the understanding and reverse engineering time consuming. These are some reasons which makes it costlier for Software Maintenance Company. Previous research illustrates that largest cost of Software production occurs after the development phase is complete.

To make it less costly, use latest design methodologies, best practices, application of latest tools, fresh requirement gathering. But, it would be beneficial for Software Maintenance Company and for users also, if systems were developed for change at the outset, using methods that allow modifications to be applied in controlled manner. And then system would relay for a longer time.
