This book analyzes the evolution of software engineering, particularly through the experience of SDC and the implementation of their software factory from the mid-1970s. Prior to this, software development was characterized by a lack of standardized methodology, leading to poor estimations, inconsistent progress tracking, undefined performance requirements, and a lack of effective design and verification tools. The author examines the attempt by SDC to rectify these issues through discipline and repeatability, with the implementation of a factory model for software production. The book details the components of SDC's software factory, including a comprehensive set of standards, a software development manual, and an integrated set of standard tools. The book also examines the challenges faced in implementing this factory approach, particularly in areas of work flow planning and management, conflicting managerial responsibilities, and resistance to change from programmers. Despite challenges, the factory model provided a blueprint for the disciplined and flexible approach to software development that many Japanese firms successfully adopted and expanded upon. This book explores the broader historical context of software engineering, examining the evolution of tools, techniques, and management practices that have shaped the industry. By analyzing both the successes and failures of SDC's software factory, this book offers valuable insights for companies seeking to improve their software development processes.

Excerpt from A U. S. Software Factory Experiment System Development Corporation
The ideas and practices that came out of the sdc experiment also provided the basic model for the criteria used to define a software factory in the survey described above. The survey reveals that, while sdc managers did not consider their factory experiment to have been a total success, unisys/sdc ranked llth among 38 facilities responding, and 3rd among u.s., facilities, behind only trw and unisys/sperry (see Appendix tables). Thus, the company has been more successful or determined than most other u.s.
