Ensmenger, Nathan Lee (Author)
Unlike computer hardware, which is by definition a tangible ``thing'' that can be readily isolated, identified, and evaluated (and whose maintenance can be anticipated and accounted for), computer software has been inextricably linked to a larger sociotechnical system that includes machines (computers and their associated peripherals), people (users, designers, and developers), and processes (the corporate payroll system, for example). Software maintenance is therefore as much a social as a technological endeavor. Usually what needs to be ``fixed'' is the ongoing negotiation between the expectations of users, the larger context of use and operation, and the features of the software system in question.
