Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book probes the many facets of software complexity and its impact on software maintenance costs. The author begins by outlining the economic incentives for developing software that is easier to maintain and adapt, given that software costs exceed $200 billion annually, and most of that is spent on maintenance. The book then delves into the complexities of software maintenance in a large IBM COBOL transaction processing environment, presenting a model that estimates the impact of software complexity on project costs. The book's empirical analysis validates the idea that software maintenance costs are significantly affected by software complexity, measured in terms of module size, modularity, and control structure complexity. The author further estimates the actual cost of complexity, providing software maintenance managers with a predictive model to evaluate the future effects of their software design decisions. This book is significant in its contribution to the body of knowledge on software complexity and its impact on maintenance. It provides practical insights for software maintenance managers and practitioners, helping them to make informed decisions about software design and maintenance strategies.
