Software Maintenance: Legacy and Archaeology, Thursday 6 May, 2021 - Zoom, https://scsc.uk/e817
This seminar considers the issue of software maintenance for safety systems. Often we have an incomplete view of the design and code and yet changes have to be made. What are the best strategies to use? How do we understand what the existing code does? How can we make safe changes? How do we re-verify? The speakers at this event will explain their methods for tackling change to legacy code.
This seminar is free to SCSC members, see www.scsc.uk/membership

Please consider submitting an article on your work. Submission details to be announced soon. There will also be length guidelines and style guides issued shortly.
