<Table of student pairs should go here.  This should be a different set of pairings than for both Exercises #2 and #3>

 

A Defect and Maintenance Report has been submitted to me for each of the projects tested in Exercise #3.  I will be forwarding this report – possibly modified by me - to you within the next 24 hours.

 

You are to then do the following:

 

1.        Estimate the time the maintenance will take.

2.        Determine the process you will use for the maintenance.

3.        Perform the maintenance (including the modification of supporting documents, if appropriate).

4.        Fill out the rest of the Defect and Maintenance Report form.

5.        Create a Word file with

·           The items from steps 1 and 2

·           The actual amount of time the maintenance took

·           What difficulties you encountered in performing the maintenance

6.        Submit a zip file with the following items:

·           The modified Defect and Maintenance Report form

·           The Word file (item 5)

·           The modified code and (if any) supporting documents
