Synopsis

Excerpt from Empirical Research on Software Maintenance, 1981-1990

Despite its economic importance, the activity of software maintenance is relatively under-studied by researchers. This comprehensive survey documents that only two percent of all articles appearing in three leading journals and two refereed conferences over the past decade were devoted to empirical studies of software maintenance. The primary purpose of this paper is to document what is known from this research, and to suggest future avenues of research. The sixty-one articles surveyed are conveniently summarized as to major differences and similarities in a set of detailed tables. The text is used to highlight major findings and differences. Although the emphasis of the paper is on the subject matter, a section discussing appropriate research methodologies is included as a guide to researchers new to this area.
