Abstract

This paper discusses the software development environment, tools, techniques, and methodology as applied in two mediums to large real-time software projects. Both quantitative and qualitative measures of success obtained in these projects are discussed. The quantitative measures are statistics representing the size of produced code, the manpower over the project life cycle, and other data relevant to software engineering management. The qualitative evaluation is more concerned with results obtained from walkthroughs and various aspects of the applied methodology. Results are compared with those reported in the literature. Recommendations and suggestions for further improvements are presented.
