Software evolution is a time-consuming and costly process due to its complex architecture. Software designers need to produce software that is effective as well as durable. Durability and effectiveness of software are the foremost priorities and challenges for developers.

This book comprises real-life case studies of durability issues and their solutions that bring to light loopholes and show how to fix them, to enhance durability. Existing literature on software durability tells us that the first step is to recognise the problem. It gives information about durability, risk, estimation, knowledge, and governance based on five main characteristics: dependability, trustworthiness, usability, security, and human trust. The book serves as a complete package to get acquainted with assurance and risk management from a software durability perspective. It enhances our understanding of the concept of durability, its multi-dimensional approach, threats and their types, risk, mitigation techniques, and suggestive measures.

The book reviews the emerging trends in the software development process in the context of durability concepts such as automated code reviews, coding standards, and software durability standards and their testing, cost management solutions, low-code or no-code solutions, and durability assurance.

The goal of the book is to define the evolving trends in the software development process in the context of durability concepts such as automated code reviews, coding standards, software durability standards, cost management solutions, low-code or no-code solutions, and durability assurance. The book examines the requirements and significance of durability in software engineering. It is challenging to validate the findings in the absence of any standard index values or information for durability assessment. The goal of the book is to fill in this research gap. The authors have created a novel paradigm that, if used, will assist developers in evaluating durability in actual software design scenarios in order to present workable solutions. The book also points out key areas that need to be improved if there are to be big changes in how long-lasting and secure software is made.

This book is done in the area of software durability or software life span, which is one of the biggest concerns in today’s era. Software organisations need to focus on this area to get long-term performance from software with low maintenance costs. Therefore, the developers need to focus on durable software. The book will help practitioners improve the life span of software.
