Changes in the application domain
|
|
|
Most application domains change
continually, e.g.,
|
|
|
|
because
of business opportunities, external changes
|
|
|
|
(such
as new laws), mergers and take-overs, new groups
|
|
|
|
of
users, etc., etc.,
|
|
|
It
is rarely feasible to implement a completely new system
|
|
when
the application domain changes.
Therefore existing
|
|
|
systems
must be modified. This may involve
extensive
|
|
|
restructuring.
