Abstract
The symptom of degradation in term of quality is observed as the indicator
of ageing phenomenon in software system. In human and living creators,
ageing is an inescapable manifestation for every living creature on earth.
In human being, this phenomenon of delaying the ageing process is normally
known as anti-ageing. We try to understand and learn the process of ageing in
software through understanding the human ageing process. Unlike human ageing,
software ageing can be delayed by identifying factors that influence the
ageing. Ageing in software is occurring when the software is degraded in term
of its quality, user’s satisfaction and dynamic. Previous studies indicated that
software ageing factors possibly will be classified into some categorization such
as cost, technology, human, functionality and environment. Our past experiences
in software quality and certification motivate us to the development of software
anti-ageing model and its related areas which are the ageing factors and
rejuvenation index. This paper presents the background issues in software ageing
which includes software quality and certification, and focus further on the
conceptual framework of software anti-ageing model and preliminary formulation
of anti-ageing model
