Abstract :
A business software application often has two perspectives: the business flow and operation that the application intends to solve, and the source code and its design and flow upon which the application is built. As one changes and evolves, the other needs to be synchronized. This paper addresses an approach to synchronize these two models for effective software maintenance.
