Maintaining a software system is similar to maintaining our own house. First we bulid our house according to our need similarly we bulid the software system to our requirement. Once the software is delivered ,proper maintenance is also required. Software manintenance doesn't just means fixing the bugs, it also includes enhancing the features. Occasionally there will be released of new software version.we need to make sure that our software system is also upgraded to the latest features in order to get the new features. This happens with our houses also. The trends are changing day by day and we will also try to modify the things in our house. Similar to the software bugs there can be issues with our home appliances, wiring connections, plumbing etc.
When we shift to our new house most probably it won't be fully arranged. The arrangements and decorations will occur once the users get used with the space and materials. They will arrange the things accordingly to make efficient use of the space in the house and also in a manner that decorates the house. Similarly once the software system is delivered, optimizations can also be done.
When we want to make a major change to the house like if we want to rennovate our house then proper planning is required. We need to calculate the cost and time required for the meeting. A proper planning is required. This is the same case with software maintenance also. We need to make a plan, estimate the cost, plan accordingly and maintain the software.
So we can conclude that the software maintenance is similar to maintaining our house.
