Software Development (SD) In General

Software Development In Real World

KPMG Canada Survey (1997)– >61% projects failed– >75% delayed– >50% substantially over budget

Chaos Report (1995)– 31.1% projects got cancelled before completion– 52.7% cost over 189% of their budget– Only 16.2% on-time and on-budget

SD is about the Process

SD is about Tools

Programming languages Component libraries Editors, IDEs Compilers Debugger Testing tools Configuration management tools, e.g. version

control, distributed collaboration, etc. Modeling and design tools

SD is about Humans

Different roles in SD process– Domain expert, architect, designer, developer,

testing engineer, release and deploy engineer, maintainer, end user

Teamwork and collaboration Management and scheduling Other non-tech factors

– Trust, devotion, passion, etc.
