   adaptive maintenance is a process under which the system is set to adapt the change inside the system or in the system environment, while corrective maintenance is a process of correcting a failure
   in the system.

   adaptive maintenance has the main point that is to enhance the system by adding features, capabilities, and functions in response to new technology, upgrades, new requirements, or new problems. Note that adaptive maintenance is reactive. The idea is to fix the system when the general business climate, competition, growth, new technology, or new regulations make change necessary. The key to minimizing adaptive maintenance costs is to isolate system-dependent features.

   WHILE

   The objective of corrective maintenance is to remove errors or bugs from the software, the procedures, the hardware, the network, the data structures, and the documentation. Corrective maintenance activities include both emergency repairs (fire fighting) and preventive (or corrective) repairs. For example, maintenance programmers are concerned with such tasks as removing residual software bugs, improving the integrity and reliability of the programs, streamlining and tightening data validation routines etc.
