Q.3: Write short notes on

1. Maintenance optimization

Answer: A common perception of maintenance is that it merely involves fixing defects. However, one study indicated that over 80% of maintenance effort is used for non-corrective actions. This perception is perpetuated by users submitting problem reports that in reality are functionality enhancements to the system. More recent studies put the bug-fixing proportion closer to 21%. An integral part of software is the maintenance one, which requires an accurate maintenance plan to be prepared during the software development. It should specify how users will request modifications or report

2. Maintenance key performance indicators

Answer: Key Performance Indicators (KPI's) are an important management tool to measure business performance, and are often used to measure maintenance.

Q.5: Answer the following questions:

a. What are the types of maintenance budget?

·         Scheduling an opening conference to discuss the audit objectives, timing, and report format and distribution.

·         Assessing the soundness of the internal controls or business systems and operations.

·         Testing the

c. Give the important objectives of maintenance benchmarking.

Answer: Benchmarking is the process through which a company measures its products, services, and practices against its toughest competitors, or those companies recognized as leaders in its industry. The idea behind benchmarking is to measure internal processes against an external standard. It is a way of learning which companies are best at performing certain activities and functions and then imitating—or better still, improving on—their techniques.
