....It should be noted that different conclusions may be drawn for different systems since they may vary in age, application domain, documentation level and quality, and so on. Our maintenance evaluation process is essentially an instantiation of the generic qualitative analysis process defined in (Shelly et al. 1992). Figure 1 illustrates at a high level our maintenance specific qualitative analysis process. It is a combination of both inductive and deductive inferences. The collected information, such as field notes or interviews, comprise the Observational Database (ODB) Inductive inferences are made from ....

....issues, risks, etc. BR88] This paper presents a qualitative and inductive analysis methodology for performing objective project characterizations and thereby identifying their specific problems and needs. It is an implementation of the general qualitative analysis methodology defined in [SS92]. It encompasses a set of procedures which aids the determination of causal links between maintenance problems and flaws of the maintenance organization and process. Thus, a set of concrete steps for maintenance quality and productivity improvement can be taken based on a tangible understanding of ....
....could be easily augmented to integrate data collection and analysis and could thus provide more quantitative information (but at a higher cost) 2. 1 A Qualitative Analysis Process This characterization process is essentially an instantiation of the generic qualitative analysis process defined in [SS92]. Figure 1 illustrates at a high level our maintenance specific analysis process. It is a combination of both inductive and deductive inferences. Inductive inferences are made from the collected information. Deductive inferences occur when experimentally validating and refining our taxonomies, ....
