• The life of software extends beyond simply
  developing code. Instead, it must be able to move
  through the ongoing lifecycle stages, which often
  stop and start as needed.
• Software needs to be properly monitored and
  maintained because it changes frequently
  depending on its use. This is done in part to
  prepare for impending organisational changes, but
  it is much more crucial now since technology is
  constantly evolving.
• Software upkeep is essential for boosting your
  company's expansion. So, we have created a piece
  about software maintenance. But first, let's
  define what software maintenance is in its
  simplest terms and then discuss why it's crucial
  to use it in your company.

What is Software Maintenance?

• Before the programme is installed on a live
  server, you can edit or update it using the
  software maintenance process.
• The software must be maintained as well as
  developed for your company's requirements. You
  must maintain thorough records of all the key
  features of the software solutions you intend to
  use for your company.
• Do you know that the global CMMS software market
  is estimated to reach 1.26 billion by the end of
  2026?
• Bug fixes, monitoring, enhancements, and support
  are the four fundamental features that define the
  four basic categories of software maintenance, as
  demonstrated above.

What are the Different Types of Software
Maintenance?

• Lets highlight four types of software
  maintenance to make it easy for you to select the
  best option for your software development
  lifecycle.
• Corrective Software Maintenance
• Preventive Software Maintenance
• Perfective Software Maintenance
• Adaptive Software Maintenance

1. Corrective Software Maintenance

• Corrective software maintenance is the standard
  and time-tested method for promptly removing and
  correcting problems from existing software.
• Simply said, this kind of software maintenance is
  in charge of finding flaws in the current system
  and fixing them so that it operates more
  accurately. The majority of the time, it takes
  the form of brief updates.
• What are the best examples of corrective software
  maintenance?
• If you found that the software needs to be fixed
  as per your expectations due to some faulty logic
  flow, wrong implementation, or even invalid or
  incomplete tests.
• Once your software is published, your end-users
  may face some issues.

2. Preventive Software Maintenance

• In order to keep the system secure against any
  potential vulnerabilities, preventive software
  maintenance is crucial.
• This kind of software maintenance often refers to
  software upgrades that are carried out especially
  to protect the software in the future. Also, it
  protects your software from any possible software
  modifications.
• Preventive maintenance offers
• You can easily create a document updating policy
  as per the existing state of the system.
• Efficiently deal with code optimization for
  better software execution
• Reconstructing or reducing the code of the
  software to make it understandable

3. Perfective Software Maintenance

• You may quickly adjust all necessary components,
  features, and even skills to effectively manage
  system operations and app performance with the
  use of perfective software maintenance.
• The responsiveness and usefulness of the software
  is the sole concern of this kind of maintenance.
  By changing the functioning of the software as it
  is now designed, you can rapidly make
  improvements, delete features, or add new ones.
• Perfective software maintenance typically
  includes
• Performance enhancement for your better user
  availability
• Enhanced user interfaces and software usability
• Better software functionality and performance

4. Adaptive Software Maintenance

• Adaptive software maintenance specifically
  addresses the compatibility strategy in
  accordance with your business requirements and
  technical viewpoints. This software maintenance
  is crucial since it manages the conversion of the
  system, which makes it simple for you to rapidly
  respond to large changes.
• Adaptive software maintenance is especially used
  for modifying the software when there are
  following conditions.
• The operating system your software executes is
  evolving
• Your users generally require the product to work
  with new hardware as well as software.
• The expectation of software defects will affect
  your customers in many ways in the upcoming
  future.

10
Primary Reasons For Software To Require
Maintenance

• Softwares lifespan depends entirely on the
  system upgradation to run efficiently on the
  system. So, to make it easy for you, we highlight
  some of the best reasons you must follow to
  maintain the software on a large scale.
• Michael Bolton, a prominent software testing
  professional says that Everybody is a tester or
  can become one to some degree. I mean, were born
  testers.
• Bug Fixing Process To Minimize Errors
• Capability Enhancement To Improve Software
  Performance
• Removal of Outdated Functionalities For Better
  Results
• Improving the Software Application Performance

11
Understanding the Software Maintenance Process

• The software maintenance planning method is the
  essential phase of the software development
  lifecycle. So, it takes place in your system
  through standardised management of the software
  maintenance process known as the Software
  Maintenance Life Cycle (SMLC).
• You can efficiently implement SMLC in seven
  different phases, as mentioned below
• Identification, Analysis, Design, Implementation,
  System Testing, Acceptance Testing, and Delivery

12

• 1. Identification
• The first phase of the software maintenance life
  cycle initiates with the identification.
• Before you implement any specific change in the
  software for the requests raised, the
  modifications are first analyzed and classified
  according to the attention or maintenance
  required.
• Depending on your business needs, you can perform
  manual or automated software updates.
• 2. Analysis
• To incorporate any change in the software
  solutions, you need to efficiently deal with
  every modification requests practical and
  feasible aspects.
• The analysis phase of the software maintenance
  process includes validated changes or input where
  the modification cost is estimated.

13

• 3. Design
• The next phase is the designing phase, where you
  have to develop a new software framework as per
  the pre-determined survey. Moreover, it would
  help if you built testing software and that too
  for safety and security purposes.
• 4. Implementation
• Now, its time to design and develop a new
  software framework by adding the codings to your
  application. But, again, it depends on your
  business needs on how you want to add
  functionality or specification to your system.
• 5. System Testing
• The testing phase is the core part of the
  software maintenance process. It's mandatory to
  perform the testing of every code and
  specification that you implemented on your
  system. This phase is reliable for determining if
  you require any further changes or additions are
  needed for the new model of software.

14

• 6. Acceptance Testing
• This stage of software maintenance is only
  handled by third-party end-users. What they do is
  simply perform a dry run test just to verify
  whether the specification or functionality is
  working as per the predefined modification
  requests or not.
• 7. Delivery
• The delivery stage is the final phase of the
  software maintenance process, where the testing
  phase is completed successfully by the tester.
  Then, the developers start to initiate the
  delivering the software solutions to the end
  users.

15
Strategies That Make Successful Software
Maintenance

• Whats the main planning that you can implement
  for making the perfect software maintenance? Its
  identifying the techniques that drive through the
  solutions making a significant impact on
  strategic plans.
• Two essential terminologies play a vital role in
  maintaining your software efficiently.
• Your Software Documentation Must Be Clean
• Performing the Perfect QA (Quality Analysis) For
  Your Software
• So, these are the major strategies you must
  implement before building software solutions for
  your business needs. If you follow these
  strategies strictly, youll gain a secret key to
  opt for successful software project delivery.

16
Conclusion

• The software development lifecycle must include a
  process for software maintenance. It resembles
  our human body exactly. There are numerous risks
  of developing serious health issues if we don't
  take care of our bodies.
• Likewise, there will be less opportunity for
  optimal business growth if you don't take
  software maintenance into account when developing
  your application.
• Plan accordingly to put the best methods and
  tactics into place to ensure a seamless software
  maintenance process. Also, you can even benefit
  greatly from a top software development company's
  wonderful assistance.
