The development of the software engineering discipline arose out of the software crisis of the 1960s and 1970s, when many large software projects went over budget and deadlines in an unexpected manner. TBD: Examples needed.. One classic example was the development of [OS 360]?, the operating system still used on the [IBM 360 Series]? and its descendents. This decade-long project (which, unlike others, finally produced a working system, which, although having some obvious flaws, is amongst the most reliable complex software systems ever designed) from which the chief architect [Rodney Brooks]? produced a classic text The Mythical Man-Month, describing much of what he had learned. |
