Abstract

abstract Software maintenance exhibits many differences regarding how other engineering disciplines carry out maintenance on their artifacts. Such dissimilarity is caused due to the fact that it is easy to get a copy from the original artifact to be used in maintenance, and also because the flat dimension of the software text facilitates access to the components by simply using a text editor. Other engineering disciplines resort to different artifact versions (obtained by dissassembling) where the introduction of modifications (previous comprehension) is easier. After which the artifact is reassembled. In software engineering this approach can be simulated by combining program transformation techniques, search-based software engineering technology and design attributes. %%This easiness (absent in the other engineering sciences) as well as the intangible software nature can lead to the belief %%that a software maintenance model similar to those of the other engineering sciences is unnecessary or unfeasible. %%This paper states the opposite, and as a consequence, an entirely new and more robust software maintenance model emerges. abstract

软件维护就像其他工程学科的维护一样

关于其他工程学科如何对其工件进行维护，软件维护表现出许多不同之处。这种不同是由于从原始工件中获得用于维护的副本很容易，而且还因为软件文本的平面尺寸便于通过简单地使用文本编辑器访问组件而引起的。其他工程规程诉诸于不同的工件版本(通过拆卸获得)，其中引入修改(先前的理解)更容易。之后，工件被重新组装。在软件工程中，可以通过结合程序转换技术、基于搜索的软件工程技术和设计属性来模拟这种方法。这种简单性(在其他工程科学中不存在)以及软件的无形性可能导致这样的信念，即类似于其他工程科学的软件维护模型是不必要的或不可行的。本文提出了相反的观点，因此，出现了一个全新的、更健壮的软件维护模型。摘要
