Abstract
This thesis deals with application understanding in
software maintenance. It describes how hypertext can be
used to support software maintenance.
Numerous authors have discussed the importance of
software maintenance. It is known that understanding of
the maintained software is one of the most complex and
time-consuming tasks during software maintenance.
Hypertext is a technique known for its ability to support
information management.
This thesis proposes hypertext as support for application
understanding, using specially developed hypertext tools.
The tools are part of an application understanding
toolset developed during the Application Management
Environments and Support (AMES) project. The case study
using these tools, described in this thesis, is based on
on-board space software, METEGG, developed by Space
Systems Finland, Ltd.
