ITPEC IP April 2023 Question 46
ITPEC IP April 2023 — Question 46 of 100
Software maintenance corrects or revises delivered programs so systems remain stable and adapt to technology or business changes. Maintenance includes correcting production defects, adapting to changed environments, improving performance or maintainability, and enhancing functions after the software enters operation.
Answer (b)
Why not others:
- (a) describes unit testing and correction during development
- (c) describes service-desk incident or inquiry handling
- (d) describes system evaluation from a business perspective, not modification of software
Key rule: Development creates and tests the initial product; maintenance changes software after delivery to keep it correct, useful, and operable.
