Abstract :
COMFORM (configuration management formalisation for maintenance), a method which provides guidelines and procedures for carrying out a variety of activities performed during the maintenance process, is discussed. The proposed method accommodates a change control framework around which the software configuration management discipline is applied. The aim is to exert control over an existing software system while simultaneously incrementally redocumenting it.<>
