Abstract

Changeability (also called evolvability) is an essential property of software. Software change is the foundation for both new software development and legacy software maintenance, therefore a better understanding of software change is an important software engineering issue. This paper covers selected topics related to software change, including minicycle of change, partitioned annotations, and change propagation, and gives a brief overview of the field.
