Abstract:
There is very little new in the overall framework of how to engineer software, but this is very new! Barry Boehm and Apurva Jain at the USC Center for Software Engineering have been doing some serious thinking about how to best manage and develop software. This presentation describes the fruits of that powerful thinking by illustrating the five components of their framework: negotiating a win-win solution, characterizing and attending to dependencies, the relative worth of each of the important variables (cost, schedule, features, etc.), the relationship between what we do and what happens, and how we make decisions. The framework will be animated by showing how the components interact and are traversed. And then the framework will be applied to the question of "how much quality assurance is enough?"
The talk is rich in diagrams and graphs!
