Law VI – Continuing growth
This law states that, as a software system evolves so that it can continue to be useful and satisfy the needs of its users, it will continue to increase in size. The amount of functionality will increase, which means the technical implementation will grow larger as well. This law is related to Law II (increasing complexity) because, as a software system grows in size, the level of complexity will increase.
