ITPEC IP April 2020 — Question 49 of 100
Changing an operational system so it conforms to revised laws is adaptive software maintenance. The external business environment has changed, requiring the delivered software to be modified while it remains in service.

Why not others:
- issuing a password is routine system operation
- considering maintainability during new development is a design activity
- acceptance testing validates a newly delivered system before operational acceptance
Key rule: Adaptive maintenance changes existing operational software to remain compatible with new laws, platforms, interfaces, or business conditions.
