Abstract

The development of new and increasingly efficient techniques of software engineering seems to be impressive to everyone except the professional software developers. In a recent summary of a panel discussing software engineering problems to be faced during the 1980's, Wasserman notes: Not surprisingly, the panel concluded that the problems of the '80's look very much like the problems of the '70's and depressingly similar to the problems of the '60's. The basic questions... were presented by the chairman as follows: 1) How can well engineered products and systematic procedures for their creation be developed? 2) How can the body of software engineering techniques be applied to existing systems? 3) How can technology be transferred more effectively from the research community to software developers?
