Inhaltsangabe
Understand how software complexity drives maintenance costs and what this means for your team. This work examines how factors like module size, procedure modularity, and control structure shape the effort and cost of maintaining large COBOL systems in real-world settings.
Drawing on data from a commercial bank and a model of maintenance productivity, the study shows that complexity has a measurable impact on hours spent, even after accounting for project size and other variables. It also discusses practical implications for managers, including the potential value of structured practices and reengineering tools.
- Learn which aspects of complexity correlate with higher maintenance costs
- See how module size, procedure size, and control flow affect maintainability
- Explore how to use predictive models to forecast life‑cycle costs
- Discover practical guidance for adopting better programming practices and tools
Ideal for readers seeking actionable insight into preventing excessive maintenance and improving long‑term software health.

Software Complexity and Software Maintenance Costs (Classic Reprint)
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: 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.
