Cost and efforts of software maintenance
Software Maintenance is a very broad activity that takes place once the operation is done. It optimizes the software performance by reducing errors, eliminating useless lines of code, and applying advanced development. It can take up to 1–2 years to build a software system while its maintenance and modification can be an ongoing activity for 15–20 years.
The cost and effort of software maintenance can vary depending on the type of maintenance being performed and the complexity of the software system. In general, software maintenance can be a significant cost for organizations, as it typically involves a combination of labor, hardware, and software costs.
