Abstract
This paper claims that traditional computing courses do not provide emphasis and practical work on systems maintenance. Yet research shows that maintenance cost are the largest part of the software lifecycle. The paper suggests some reasons why maintenance is not more widely taught such as: students must first be familiar with the language; and they must have good design skills. These reasons suggest that maintenance could only fit into the upper optional levels of a computing course. This paper suggest that by using a CASE tool, maintenance could be taught at lower levels. Some examples of aspects of maintenance are included.
