- 5. SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE “A software system must be continually adapted during its overall life cycle or it progressively becomes less satisfactory.” (cit. Lehman’s First Law of Software Evolution) Software Maintenance represents the most expensive, time consuming and challenging phase of the whole development process. Software Maintenance could account up to the 85-90% of the total software costs.
