Sinopsis

The subject of this book is the control of software engineering. The rapidly increasing demand for software is accompanied by a growth in the number of products on the market, as well as their size and complexity. Our ability to control software engineering is hardly keeping pace with this growth. As a result, software projects are often late, software products sometimes lack the required quality and the productivity improvements achieved by software engineering are insufficient to keep up with the demand This book describes ways to improve software engineering control. It argues that this should be expanded to include control of the development, maintenance and reuse of software, thus making it possible to apply many of the ideas and concepts that originate in production control and quality control. The book is based on research and experience accumulated over a number of years. During this period I had two employers: Eindhoven University of Technology and Philips Electronics. Research is not a one-man activity and I would like to thank the following persons for their contributions to the successful completion of this project. First and foremost my Ph. D. advisers Theo Bemelmans, Hans van Vliet and Fred Heemstra whose insights and experience proved invaluable at every stage. Many thanks are also due to Rob Kusters and Fred Heemstra for their patience in listening to my sometimes wild ideas and for being such excellent colleagues.

Reseña del editor

The management and control of software projects is now seen as a critical factor in the successful development of efficient and cost-effective software products. The unprecedented demand for software has been met with a dramatically increasing number of products of varying size and complexity being made available. Thus the ability to effectively manage and control the software engineering lifecycle will ensure a competitve advantage in a highly competitive industry.
This book offers a systematic analysis of the critical factors involved in software engineering control and the means to achieve greater control of software projects. The central argument advocates an expansion of the current practice to include the control of development, maintenance, and re-use of software. The book not only describes what factors should be changed in the control of software engineering, it also provides guidelines for the enhancement of control factors.
A number of detailed `real-life' case studies of software engineering departments are included to illustrate the processes and principles involved.
This book will be of interest to managers, project leaders, analysts, and programmers involved with medium to large scale software engineering projects. Additionally, higher management and consultant-level software engineers will be able to keep up-to-date on the latest research on controlling software projects.
