Software Maintenance and Evolution - Trends and Challenges: Investigating trends and challenges in software maintenance and evolution, including techniques for managing technical debt
Keywords:
software maintenance, software evolution, technical debtAbstract
Software maintenance and evolution are crucial phases in the software development lifecycle, ensuring that software remains relevant, reliable, and efficient over time. This paper examines current trends and challenges in software maintenance and evolution, with a specific focus on techniques for managing technical debt. We analyze the impact of evolving requirements, technological advancements, and organizational factors on software maintenance practices. Additionally, we explore the role of automated tools and processes in mitigating maintenance challenges and discuss strategies for effective technical debt management. Through this research, we aim to provide insights into best practices and future directions for software maintenance and evolution in modern software development environments.
