程序维护手册（Program maintenance manual） Program maintenance manual 1. introduction * purpose of compilation Software maintenance is the last stage of software life cycle. It is not in the process of system development after the system has been put into production operation. Software maintenance requires a lot of work, although in different applications, maintenance costs vary greatly, but on average, the maintenance costs of large-scale software as high as four times the cost of development. At present, many foreign software development organizations use more than 60% of the manpower to maintain the existing software, and this percentage continues to rise as the number of software increases and the service life is extended. Software maintenance is the modification of software in order to correct errors or meet new needs after the software has been delivered Process. It has several properties like maintenance: * corrective maintenance Because the software is not possible to expose all potential errors of a large software system, so during use, users will find bugs, and their problems to report to the maintenance personnel. We refer to the process of diagnosing and correcting errors as corrective maintenance. * adaptive maintenance All aspects of computer science and technology are making rapid progress and regular revisions are needed. The activity of modifying software in order to fit appropriately with a changing environment is called adaptive maintenance. * integrity maintenance After the completion of the software, put into practice, in the process of using software, users often propose to add new functions or modify existing functions, which requires perfect maintenance. * preventive maintenance Preventive maintenance is needed to improve future maintainability or reliability, or to modify software in order to provide a better foundation for future improvements. The maintenance process is essentially a modification and compression of the software definition and devel
