Question

5. Discuss why the software is efficient and easy to maintain.
The core algorithm developed for 'WGUPS - Packet Tracking Console' was
implemented using a clean, object-oriented architecture designed to achieve efficiency
and maintainability. All of the major components (class, objects, and methods) are
well-commented to ensure readability. The new developer willing to work on this
codebase should be able to ascertain the purpose of each block of codes and their role
in the big picture.
While taking steps to increase adaptability it also increased maintainability as a
byproduct. Each method has clear and specific instructions assigned and is well
commented for readability. The well-commented coding will contribute heavily
toward future maintainability.

Maintenance refers to easy editing, development and understanding of software code. Software
maintenance is the phase of a software development cycle that begins after a customer has
acquired a product.
The software is easy to maintain if it has a high quality readable and well-written code, so keep
good writing habits in mind while your software is being developed.
If software follows a good architecture like OOPS and efficient codes then its maintenance
process becomes simpler. The well organised structures make it easy to debug and refactor as and
when required.
Using proper comments and avoiding global variables promotes a better readibilty of code.
