Bugs are not the only reason that you will work on a program after you think you’re completely done with it. Program maintenance is necessary because requirements change, companies change, and laws change. You must also change the programs you write so that they remain viable programs; you will need to update your program periodically to reflect changes that impact the program. In addition, users will think of new things that they want the program to do.
It is said that a program is written once and modified many times. The more program maintenance you perform, the more likely that your program will be up-to-date and in use. You may want to release new versions of your program
so that users can, with a different version number on the opening screen that you place there, keep track of the latest version installed on their system.
As you learn more about the Visual Basic programming language, you’ll learn how to write code that is clear, and you’ll learn how to create documentation for your program. The more remarks you put in your program and the clearer you write program code instead of using tedious, complicated, tricky program statements, the easier it will be for you and others to track errors and maintain the program later.
