Abstract

The race to keep software compatible and optimal with respect to the latest trends is hard. 90% of software cost can be due to maintenance, and 75% on developing new features to stay competitive and relevant. The industry progresses through periods of incremental development interspersed with true paradigm shifts. Legacy software must keep up the pace.
