Short description
Written by experts in this area, Software Maintenance Management explores the domain of software maintenance in depth and describes the critical overlaps with software development. It presents a new way of capturing the uniqueness of software maintenance activities in a model-based process improvement approach. The focus of this book is, therefore, on the uniqueness of software maintenance activities, on how to assess the software maintenance using the Software Maintenance Maturity Model (S3m model) and how to figure out improvement paths.
