RESUMO

The increasing volume of software being used in all types of organizations has been calling attention for a phase of the software life cycle, until now considered in a secondary way, the software maintenance. Since it is generally not possible to replace all software products used in an organization by others based on more recent technologies, the maintenance of those legacy systems becomes one more challenge for the search of techniques and methods to handle the software maintenance efficiently. The problems arising from this activity need to be better understood, and it is precisely on the definition and study of these difficulties that this work is devoted. The confrontation between the theory of software engineering and practice observations drives to the definition of typical problems of software maintenance and what exists to solve them. Besides, based on the understanding about these problems, this work also presents guidelines to drive the elaboration of a specific discipline of software maintenance for undergraduate courses in computing area
