Abstract
Consistent, correct and complete documentation is an important vehicle for the maintainer to gain understanding of a software system, to ease the learning and/or relearning processes, and to make the system more maintainable. Former studies have shown that documentation is one of the most neglected process issues within software engineering today. The authors check the current state of documentation practice within corrective maintenance in Sweden
