A study on the maintenance of literate programs

Published: 02 April 1997 Publication History

Abstract

This paper outlines an ongoing study investigating the maintenance of literate programs. The study examines the accuracy and performance time of subjects performing maintenance task on 4 different literate programs of varying size. The preliminary data suggest that subject performance is not directly related to program size.
