The cost of software maintenance is very high and
projected to climb higher in the future. Failure to adopt
and utilize improved technical and management methods and
tools contributes to the high cost and burden of
maintenance. Software configuration management as an
effective technique of controlling software development/
maintenance is examined. Two change control models are
identified and evaluated as to their effectiveness and
completeness toward achieving efficient control and easing
maintenance effort. A proposed change control model which
addresses more aspects and promises better results through a
set of guidelines for an "ideal" software maintenance change
control is presented. Software maintenance change control
tools are discussed by identifying two of the existing
tools. With proper implementation of the proposed change
control model and the use of an effective change control
tool, better control of the maintenance process can be
achieved, and the maintenance effort reduced.
