This guide provides a recommended transition plan for a marine software maintainer, when the maintainer is other than the supplier, to develop the capability to make extensive changes or extensions to the programs. Further, this guide provides a recommended interactive process model for managing and executing software maintenance activities. This guide applies principally to the marine software that requires design effort and for which the product requirements are stated principally in performance terms.
