What is software maintenance?

Software maintenance is the process of modifying and updating software applications after their initial release. This includes fixing bugs, improving performance, adding new features, and adapting the software to changes in hardware or operating environments. Maintenance ensures that the software continues to meet users’ needs and functions correctly over time. It is a crucial part of the software development lifecycle and can involve both minor updates and major upgrades.
