“…It reflects the software malleability to new or changed requirements and impacts responsive operations during development and after the software is placed into production. These adapting activities include enhancing existing functions, adding new functions, detecting and correcting defects, rewriting, and responding to requirement changes [14]. Recently, some researchers have argued that the enhancement of system development process can enhance the maintenance and other software qualities [43].…”

“…Recently, some researchers have argued that the enhancement of system development process can enhance the maintenance and other software qualities [43]. Dekleva [14] found that time spent on error correction as well as the number of system failures decreased significantly with the improvement of system development processes. It is believed that a well-defined software process provide control and predictability over software development, increasing the likelihood of developing flexible systems.…”

“…In [Dekleva 1992], Dekleva addressed the (as it turned out unsubstantiated) assumption that the improved quality of a system's structure and other improvements would reduce maintenance time. This was a shared misconception at that time.…”

and Chris Verhoef Vrije Universiteit AmsterdamGrammarware comprises grammars and all grammar-dependent software. The term grammar is meant here in the sense of all established grammar formalisms and grammar notations including context-free grammars, class dictionaries, XML schemas as well as some forms of tree and graph grammars. The term grammar-dependent software refers to all software that involves grammar knowledge in an essential manner. Archetypal examples of grammar-dependent software are parsers, program converters, and XML document processors. Despite the pervasive role of grammars in software systems, the engineering aspects of grammarware are insufficiently understood. We lay out an agenda that is meant to promote research on increasing the productivity of grammarware development and on improving the quality of grammarware. To this end, we identify the problems with the current grammarware practises, the barriers that currently hamper research, the promises of an engineering discipline for grammarware, its principles, and the research challenges that have to be addressed.

“…On the other hand, having a complete development method does not appear to influence the amount of traditional maintenance significantly. This is in step with the results of Dekleva (1992b) which showed that there is no conclusive evidence that organizations using modern development methods use less time on maintenance activities. On the other hand they spend a larger proportion of the time on functional perfective maintenance, which, other things being equal, decreases the amount of functional maintenance.…”

Results on use of methodology and CASE-tools from a survey investigation performed in Norwegian organizations are presented. The results are based on responses from 52 Norwegian organizations on a survey investigation on development and maintenance.Although there appears to be a trend towards the use of more packaged solutions, the investigation indicates a larger proportions of application systems being developed as customized systems in larger organizations. The presence of a comprehensive development and maintenance methodology and the use of CASE-tools are also more prominent in larger organizations. Larger organizations also use statistically significant less of their effotl on functional maintenance. Even though, the impact of CASE-tools on the information systems portfolios of Norwegian organizations are not yet large, and improvements in functional maintenance can not be attributed to the ase of CASE. A notably different perception on the benefit of CASE-technology for productivity was observed between users and non-users of CASE, but the difference was not found to be statistically significant.
