This book explores the domain of software maintenance management and provides road maps for improving software maintenance organizations. It describes full maintenance maturity models organized by levels 1, 2, and 3, which allow for benchmarking and continuous improvement paths. Goals for each key practice area are also provided, and the model presented is fully aligned with the architecture and framework of software development maturity models of CMMI and ISO 15504. It is complete with case studies, figures, tables, and graphs.
Computerized Maintenance Management Systems Software programs are increasingly being used to manage and control plant and equipment maintenance in modern manufacturing and service industries. However, 60% to 80% of all programs fail because of poor planning, costing millions of dollars. Written by an expert with over 30 years of experience, this book employs a step by step approach for evaluating the company’s needs then selecting the proper CMMS.
USA. Monograph on the management and maintenance of computer programmes - based on a 1979 questionnaire survey, analyses data processing management, cost application and enhancement of software. Bibliography pp. 178 to 184.
Advances in Software Maintenance Management: Technologies and Solutions is a compilation of chapters from some of the best researchers and practitioners in the area of software maintenance. The chapters in this book are intended to be useful to a wide audience where software maintenance is a mandatory matter for study.
Dispelling much of the folklore surrounding software maintenance, Software Maintenance Success Recipes identifies actionable formulas for success based on in-depth analysis of more than 200 real-world maintenance projects. It details the set of factors that are usually present when effective software maintenance teams do their work and instructs on
Software systems now invade every area of daily living. Yet, we still struggle to build systems we can really rely on. If we want to work with software systems at any level, we need to get to grips with the way software evolves. This book will equip the reader with a sound understanding of maintenance and how it affects all levels of the software evolution process.
With software maintenance costs averaging 50% of total computing costs, it is necessary to have an effective maintenance program in place. Aging legacy systems, for example, pose an especially rough challenge as veteran programmers retire and their successors are left to figure out how the systems operate. This book explores program analyzers, reve
The extensively revised second edition of Terry Wireman's landmark introduction to CMMS has been written to assist anyone investigating the possibility of using a computer in the maintenance function. It provides the information needed to successfully evaluate, select, and implement a system. Readers unfamiliar with the earlier book will discover how progressive companies are using computer programs to achieve cost reduction and control the maintenance of any facility.
This book discusses Change Management Impact Analysis and how this method is used to analysis the risks and benefits of a change management initiative when it pertains to obtaining critical insight into how the change management program budget should be allotted. The process also offers useful indicators for what areas within the system should be monitored during the change management process. This book presents theoretical analysis of practical implications and surveys, along with analysis. It covers the functions aimed at identifying various stakeholders associated with the software such as requirement component, design component, and class component. The book talks about the interrelationship between the change and the effects on the rest of the system and dives deeper to include the critical role that the analysis places on the existing multiple functions such as estimating the development costs, the project overhead costs, cost for the modification of the system, and system strength or detecting errors in the system during the process. Case studies are also included to help researchers and practitioners to absorb the material presented. This book is useful to graduate students, researchers, academicians, institutions, and professionals that interested in exploring the areas of Impact Analysis.
This book addresses the recent developments in systems maintenance research and practices ranging from technicality of systems evolution to managerial aspects of the topic, including issues such as evolving legacy systems to e-business, applying patterns for reengineering legacy systems to web, architectural recovery of legacy systems, evolving legacy systems into software components.
