Abstract
The ripple effect is one of the most important causes of the difficulty of software maintenance work. This paper presents a model of the ripple effect in the SDL specification. First, some concepts are defined and a classification is made. Then ripple effects on different abstract levels of the SDL and their interactive relationships are discussed. Also the benefits due to using ripple effect analysis are described in terms that are useful to maintenance personnel and project managers
