- In maintaining an operational system, hardware faults are usually corrected by replacing the offending subcomponent with a spare. Software faults can be related to requirements, design & coding and must be eliminated by correcting the specification, design or the code, as appropriate. In complex systems, software changes must be made with extreme care and must be validated. Discuss ways in which software faults can be handled in a controlled manner where the operating system is remote from the development organization.arrow_forwardIs there a difference between embedded system software and system software? So what examples do you provide of each? Can Embedded software be utilized without the need of System software? How?arrow_forwardWhen you are assessing a legacy system, you have to look at it from a business perspective and a technical perspective. From a business perspective, you have to decide whether the business really needs the system. From a technical perspective, you have to assess the quality of the system and its related support software and hardware. You then use a combination of the business value and the system quality to take one of the following informed decisions: scrap the system, re-engineer the system, replace the system, continue the system’s maintenance. Your task is to assess legacy systems in your organization and decide what would be the most appropriate strategy for maintaining these systems. Discuss possible factors you would use when assessing the technical quality of the legacy system. Assume that you assessed four systems and the results of the assessment are as follows: System A: high quality, low business value System B: high quality, high business value System C: low quality,…arrow_forward
