    The document discusses an assignment for a Software Re-Engineering course. It includes two questions about software life cycles and the differences between software evolution and maintenance. For question 1a, the student describes the versioned staged model, noting that software development is evolving and companies release new versions while continuing to service previous ones. For question 1b, the student explains that software maintenance focuses on fixing issues and maintaining functionality after deployment, while software evolution aims to improve the software over time in response to changes in requirements or environment. Examples of each are provided.

    Question 1:

    Describe the following in your own words:


    a) The versioned staged model for software life cycle. [2]

    SOLUTION

    The versioned staged model for the software life cycle highlights how software development is an
    evolving process. At regular intervals, a company completes a version of its software and releases it to
    customers. Evolution continues, with the company eventually releasing another version and only servicing the
    previous version.

    For example: Many companies use a naming scheme like MSDOS Version 6, Release 22. The version refers to
    strategic changes during evolution, and the release refers to servicing patches.

    b) The differences between software evolution and software maintenance with help of relevant
    examples. [2]
