Abstract

The complexities associated with software system implemented often makes it imperative to maintain the existing software as a system of high functionality and throughput regime even in the face of changed external environment. It is preferable to enhance the functional operation by upgrading the existing software than changing entire systems as is demonstrated by continued usage of proprietary systems in large banking, insurance, logistic, shipping and airline systems etc. This makes preventive maintenance a very critical tool in the hands of organizations who wish to bring software reliability and maintainability in the future operations of the software systems. Preventive maintenance focuses on the re-engineering of the software rather than its operational maintenance. In this paper we attempt to analyze that preventive maintenance as an inevitable option for the maintenance of the software systems. There is also an attempt to integrate the preventive maintenance into the existing software product life cycle with the focus on the pre and the post deployment phase till the retirement of that software.
