ABSTRACT

Software maintenance is a very broad activity that includes improvements in capabilities, error correction, optimization, and removal of obsolete capabilities. Normal operate of basic work and accurate cost estimation is to ensure the normal maintenance of necessary software tools. Due to this various researchers have been attracted towards the research on various factors affective the productivity of software development. The motive behind the identification of those factors that affect productivity helps management to take steps for removing it and saving the maintenance cost of the software. The objective behind this work is to analyze the various activities in accordance with the current software development environment and understanding the key factors that affect the maintenance cost of the software. Along with types of software maintenance estimation, various software maintenance activities are classified into three categories. The other section contains the review on work done by various researchers on the maintenance cost of software and various factors that affects it. These factors are classified into technical and non-technical factors.
