Issues—The Software Crisis 1. Introduction to Chapter The term "software crisis" has been used since the late 1960s to describe those recurring system development problems in which software development problems cause the entire system to be late‚ over budget‚ not responsive to the user and/or customer requirements‚ and difficult to use‚ maintain‚ and enhance. The late Dr. Winston Royce‚ in his paper Current Problems [1]‚ emphasized this situation when he said in 1991: The construction of new software that

traditional software metrics which could be applied to object–oriented programming and a set of object–oriented metrics (i.e. those designed specifically for object–oriented programming). Given the central role that software development plays in the delivery and application of information technology‚ managers are increasingly focusing on process improvement in the software development area. This demand has spurred the provision of a number of new and/or improved approaches to software development

SOFTWARE TESTING SOFTWARE TESTING Testing is the process of executing a program with the intent of finding errors. TESTING PRINCIPLES All tests should be traceable to customer requirements. Tests should be planned long before testing begins. The Pareto principle applies to software testing. Stated simply‚ the Pareto principle implies that 80 percent of all errors uncovered during testing will likely be traceable to 20 percent of all program components. TESTING PRINCIPLES Testing should begin

Software Configuration Management is the ability to control and manage change in a software project. Change is inherent and ongoing in any software project. The ability to track control such changes in a proper manner form the basis of a good software project. Software Configuration Management tries to bridge this gap by defining a process for change control. Change Management defines processes to prevent unauthorized changes‚ procedures to follow when making changes‚ required information‚ possibly
