Large, complex and long-lived software need to be upgraded at runtime. Addition, removal and replacement of a software component are the elementary evolution operations that have ...
: Scenarios/use cases have gained wide-spread use over the last couple of years. In software engineering they are mainly used to capture requirements and specify a system. Many sof...
—Much of modern software development consists of building on older changes. Older periods provide the structure (e.g., functions and data types) on which changes in future period...
Software-intensive systems evolve continuously under the pressure of new and changing requirements, generally leading to an increase in overall system complexity. In this respect,...
Software development techniques are continuously evolving with the goal of solving the main problems that still affect the building and maintenance of software systems: time, cost...
