Abstract

Support tasks in software maintenance relates to tasks that help in ensuring proper functioning of software applications without modifying them. These tasks include training, consultation, clients’ data management, installation and configuration of software applications. The aim of this study is to investigate trends in support maintenance tasks performed in a micro software company. Tasks’ related data are extracted from the company internal repository of tasks. Trend analysis is based on descriptive statistical methods and proposed support task typology that reflects the real maintenance practice in the company. The analysis relates to trends in working hours spent by programmers on solving support tasks and distribution of tasks among senior and junior programmers. The results of trend analysis are useful for planning and decision-making activities in the selected company. Benefits for the company, limitations of the study, and research implications are outlined.
