Answer 3

Hello,

in software development it is important to think about maintenance too.

1. When you begin software development you should think how long it is planned to use it. If you need software for a long time, then you need to plan updates and this is a part of maintenance. Why you may need updates? Technologies always change and quite fast, so you need updates for your software too. Example - Windows has updates, Android has updates.

2. Think how many people will use it. Even if there is documents and a tutor, people tend to break or use incorrectly so the more people use software, the bigger is the necessity to carry out maintenance.

3. If you do software by yourself, then it's up to you. But professional developers and companies usually offer this service and they even make software architecture analysis assuming it will be maintained. I know such pros I worked with - Belitsoft company.

so maintenance is important in software development
