Quote: every change to software will be re-experienced, all at once, by users running a new version [»tognB_1992]

Quote: if you must change a system, make it a large and obvious one; otherwise accidental errors become easy [»tognB_1990]

Quote: adaptive changes add new functionality or supported environments, corrective changes fix faults, perfective changes and reengineering improves software maintenance [»eickSG4_2002]

Quote: the essence of change in a computational system is the appearance and disappearance of tokens of external symbols [»kentW6_1991]

Quote: rule of continuity -- no change takes place by leaps and bounds
