Abstract:
The paper starts by distinguishing between two types of software evolution studies. The first addresses evolution as a noun and focuses on it as a phenomenon. The second addresses the topic as a verb and focuses on methods and tools intended to facilitate software evolution and the tasks that implement it. Both views are necessary to achieve increased insight and a degree of mastery of the evolution phenomenon and to develop improved tools and technology. Keywords: co-evolution, noun and verb, management, software evolution, software process, tools 1 INTRODUCTION The universal experience that software that is used undergoes continuing evolution was first discussed in the early seventies [leh74].
