Abstract

An empirical study of the management of software maintenance is presented, based on completion of an earlier study. The survey at hand has been conducted by means of live interviews with analysts and software managers, using a translated version of B.P. Lientz and E.B. Swanson's (1978) survey form (slightly adjusted at times to take into account a difference of data processing culture). The authors accumulated a total of 150 completed survey forms, properly distributed on the various sectors of the Tunisian data processing industry. For the sake of comparison or confirmation, the authors mention a similar study that was carried out by one of the authors with some companies in Algeria. This study covers a total of sixty surveys, taken in 1988 and 1989. The final results are presented. The issues discussed are scale of effect issues, organizational issues, productivity technique issues and problem area issues.<>
软件维护的实证研究
在完成前期研究的基础上,对软件维护管理进行了实证研究。手头的调查是通过对分析师和软件经理进行现场访谈的方式进行的,使用B.P. Lientz和E.B. Swanson(1978)调查表格的翻译版本(有时略有调整,以考虑到数据处理文化的差异)。作者共收集了150份已填妥的调查表,在突尼斯数据处理工业的各个部门适当分发。为了比较或证实,作者提到了其中一位作者与阿尔及利亚的一些公司进行的类似研究。这项研究涵盖了在1988年和1989年进行的总共60项调查。最后给出了实验结果。讨论的问题是规模效应问题,组织问题,生产力技术问题和问题领域问题。
