What problems may occur as a result of combining applications programming and maintenance tasks into one position?
One problem that may occur is inadequate documentation. Documenting is not considered as interesting a task as designing, testing, and implementing a new system, thus a systems professional may move on to a new project rather than spend time documenting an almost complete project. Job security may be another reason a programmer may not fully document his or her work. Another problem that may occur is the increased potential for fraud. If the original programmer generates fraudulent code during development, then this programmer, through maintenance procedures, may disable the code prior to audits. Thus, the programmer can continue to cover his or her tracks.
