List-I                              List-II
I. Corrective                              (a) Concerned with performing activities to reduce the software complexity
thereby improving program understandability and increasing software
maintainability.
II. Adaptive                    (b) Concerned with fixing errors that are observed when the software is in
use.
III. Perfective                  (c) Concerned with the change in the software that takes place to make
the software adaptable to new environment (both hardware and
software).
IV. Preventive               (d) Concerned with the change in the software that takes place to make the
software adaptable to changing user requirements.
