These are the reasons - -15 -00:00:42,090 --> 00:00:46,420 -why software maintenance is a necessary phase in software development. - -16 -00:00:46,420 --> 00:00:50,190 -Software maintenance is the activity that sustains the software product - -17 -00:00:50,190 --> 00:00:53,780 -as it evolves throughout its life cycle, specifically - -18 -00:00:53,780 --> 00:00:57,350 -in response to bug reports, feature requests and - -19 -00:00:57,350 --> 00:01:00,890 -environment changes. Development organisations perform three kinds of - -20 -00:01:00,890 --> 00:01:04,450 -maintenance activities: corrective maintenance to eliminate problems with the - -21 -00:01:04,450 --> 00:01:07,740 -code, perfective maintenance to accommodate feature request, and - -22 -00:01:07,740 --> 00:01:09,730 -in some cases just to improve the software, for - -23 -00:01:09,730 --> 00:01:12,230 -example, to make it more efficient, and finally, - -24 -00:01:12,230 --> 00:01:15,650 -adaptive maintenance, to take care of the environment changes. - -25 -00:01:15,650 --> 00:01:18,470 -And after this activities have been performed, the software developer - -26 -00:01:18,470 --> 00:01:21,540 -will produce a new version of the application, will release it - -27 -00:01:21,540 --> 00:01:24,150 -and the cycle will continue through out the lifetime of - -28 -00:01:24,150 --> 00:01:27,440 -the software. That's why maintenance is a fundamental activity and a - -29 -00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,420 -very expensive one. And one of the reasons why maintenance - -30 -00:01:30,420 --> 00:01:34,080 -is expensive, that I want to mention now, is regression testing. - -31 -00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,180 -During maintenance every time you modify your application you have - -32 -00:01:37,180 --> 00:01:41,120 -to regression test the application, where regression testing is the activity - -33 -00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,010 -of retesting software after it has been modified to make sure - -34 -00:01:44,010 --> 00:01:47,320 -that the changes you perform to the software work as expected, - -35 -00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:51,540 -and that your changes did not introduce any unforseen effect.
