ITPEC IP April 2020 Question 48
ITPEC IP April 2020 — Question 48 of 100
Modifying a program to handle a failure discovered during actual operation is software maintenance. The software has already been delivered and placed into service, so correcting the operational defect is corrective maintenance.
Answer (d)
Why not others:
- modifications arising from acceptance testing occur before acceptance and delivery
- adding missing functions or fixing bugs during unit testing are development activities
- maintenance begins after the software enters operational use
Key rule: Post-delivery correction, adaptation, and improvement of operational software are maintenance activities.
