Abstract

Software engineering may be defined as the systematic design and development of software products and the management of the software process. Software engineering has as one of its primary objectives the production of programs that meet specifications, and are demonstrably accurate, produced on time, and within budget. This paper in five parts discusses the principles and practices used by the IBM Federal Systems Division for the design, development, and management of software. Part V deals with the management of software engineering, which is primarily the intellectual control of the whole software engineering process. Intellectual control is brought about by a technical review strategy, a cost management approach, and a project environment for effective software development.
