The industry's most outspoken and insightful critic explains how
the software industry REALLY works.
In Great Software Debates, Al Davis, shares what he has learned
about the difference between the theory and the realities of
business and encourages you to question and think about software
engineering in ways that will help you succeed where others
fail.
In short, provocative essays, Davis fearlessly reveals the truth
about process improvement, productivity, software quality, metrics,
agile development, requirements documentation, modeling, software
marketing and sales, empiricism, start-up financing, software
research, requirements triage, software estimation, and
entrepreneurship. He will get you thinking about:
- The danger of following trends and becoming a 'software
lemming'
- Is software development art or engineering?
- How to survive management mistakes
- The bizarre world of software estimation
- How to succeed as software entrepreneur
- How to resolve incompatible schedules and requirements
If you are in the software industry and do not know which way to
turn, Great Software Debates provides valuable and insightful
advice. Whether you are a software developer, software manager,
software executive, entrepreneur, requirements writer, architect,
designer, or tester, you will find no shortage of sound, palatable
advice.
